In depth

Formwatch

Melanzana Absent for almost six months and failed to win at three. Unknown quantity on this surface and is probably best watched for now.

Kuwait Dawn (IRE) All-weather debut and has not won for over two years, so difficult to make a case for her.

Moonlight Song (IRE) Does not seem to be the most consistent of fillies but would have a decent chance on her best form. Finished ahead of several of these rivals over a mile in January, and recent second over this trip reads well.

Sporting Ladder (USA) Lightly raced daughter of Danzig. Finished close fourth on all-weather debut here and no surprise to see her step up on that form.

Haunt The Zoo Course and distance winner but seems held by Jessinca on recent form.

Phoebe Buffay (IRE) Slammed Jessinca by five lengths a week ago. Unpenalised for that and actually races off a lower mark today, so obvious claims. Slight worry about the drop back in trip, but clearly the one they all have to beat.

Caution This could be her ideal trip, but she hasn't raced since November and she may just be in need of the run here.

Muja's Magic (IRE) Has looked below par for much of the year and is hard to fancy in this.

Jessinca Consistent string of efforts lately and definite place claims, though on the book she faces a stiff task trying to reverse last week's form with Phoebe Buffay.

Stravsea Has looked decidedly moderate in her recent outings and impossible to make a case for her in this.
