In depth

Formwatch

Free Needs to prove that he will act on the surface and is handicapped here on his turf form; others preferred.

Rainbow Spirit (IRE) Exposed; basically a one-paced maiden but there is evidence he will enjoy this return to 2m; place chances at very best.

Pillager AW debutante; stepping up in trip and not sure to stay.

Tiger Grass (IRE) Ran reasonably well on his AW debut behind Kent here last month when fit from hurdling; could step up on that today and possibly finish in the money.

Time Can Tell Has won over course and distance but is generally one-paced and shouldn't be a main danger today.

Rhodamine (IRE) Well handicapped on his best form but not guaranteed to stay this longer trip; interesting type but couldn't be backed with total confidence.

Grand Cru Bolted and withdrawn from last two intended runs; if making it down to the start he has a chance on his best form but remains inconsistent and worth opposing.

Genuine John (IRE) Doubtful stayer but has shown reasonable bits of form this season; beaten favourite last time and in with a chance in such a weak affair.

Remember Star Another doubtful stayer but was a game winner of a seller at Lingfield last time and this consistent mare could go well today.

Call My Guest (IRE) Quite disappointing last time after a long lay off; probably best avoided today.

Laguna Bay (IRE) Poor recent hurdle form; no show when tried on AW last November; no real chance.

Risky Flight Poor AW form this season; improvement needed and best watched today.

Notation (IRE) Shouldn't really have a chance from 10lbs out of the handicap.
