In depth

Formwatch

Burning Truth (USA) Recorded back to back wins, including over 9f here, at the end of last year. Well beaten twice since then, though, and perhaps not the most reliable of customers. Unproven over this trip.

Classic Affair (FR) No form to speak of and faces a very stiff task here.

Dancing Dervish In poor form and no chance at these weights.

Flying Treaty (USA) Very consistent sort. Good winner here recently and decent chance on official ratings, though another who is untried over this trip.

Max (FR) Impossible task at the weights, rated only 27 on official figures.

Noukari (IRE) Grand old servant who has an excellent chance on official ratings. First outing since July, so might just need this, but jockey booking looks positive and will have no problems with the trip.

Poker School (IRE) Has shaped well enough in three runs since lengthy absence, but still has plenty to do and others clearly preferred.

Waterfront (IRE) Best effort in last six starts was 11th of 12 here last month. Say no more.

Dove's Dominion Lightly raced of late but yet to finish in the frame under any code and that is unlikely to change here.

The Castigator Only rated 20 on official figures and looks to be making up the numbers in this.
