In depth

Formwatch

Liniyan (IRE) Finishing record hardly inspires confidence and no real chance here.

Cedar Green Failed to finish on last two stars but had put up a couple of decent efforts prior at Fontwell and Wincanton; should run well.

Dick McCarthy (IRE) Began to improve slightly towards the end of last season and looks one of the most likely finishers; placepot banker but may not win.

Grumpy Stumpy Fair level of form last season but has failed to spark to date this term and not a guaranteed stayer.

Chatergold (IRE) Runs well at this time of year; prone to the odd mistake but has definite place possibilities here.

Over Zealous (IRE) Progressive a couple of years ago but stable has been under a cloud for far too long now to

Red Gold Another who runs well at this time of year; trainer in form and this could be a lively outsider to consider.

Deliceo (IRE) Ran up to his best last time out but trainer out of form and this gelding is too inconsistent to trust.

Royal Event Held his form well last season and ran promisingly last time out at Fontwell; could be his day in this poor contest.
