Formwatch
Branston Pickle Suited by track and trip but only seems to get his head in front when the money is down.
Sir Sandrovitch (IRE) Ran an excellent effort under topweight last time and is weighted to win here today; will take all the beating.
Days of Grace Yet to prove he is at his best on this track and looks weighted up to his best anyhow.
Talaria (IRE) Has gone off the boil since winning two claimers at the backend of last season; probably best watched until showing signs of a return to form
Done And Dusted (IRE) Steadily returning to a winnable mark but tends to find little in a finish and may be passed over today.
Mallia Very consistent but is a very tricky ride; looks on a handy mark and looks the one to beat today.
Dryad Quite capable on his day but has not raced for over 500 days and others are preferred.
Aisle Finished 2nd last time in a poor race; more needed here and will struggle to get a place.
