      In depth

      Formwatch

      Sand Hawk Back to his favourite track and top-jockey booked; has a tendancy to start slowly these days; place possibilities.

      Bergen (IRE) Quite well handicapped on old form and ran a decent race last time in a claimer; not won since 1997 however.

      Wind Chime (IRE) Still a maiden and has had easier chances than this to win; not to be relied upon.

      Unshaken Unlucky on last two runs and ideally suited by this trip; both jockey and stable going well so must have a chance today.

      Cristoforo (IRE) Lightly-raced and probably doesn't deserve his current mark; no real chance.

      Rioja Good draw and ran well a couple of weeks ago in a similar contest; may go well today.

      Young Bigwig (IRE) Won for the first time over this trip last time; form of that race is not working out an will probably be beaten today by a horse that definitely stays this trip.

      Distinctive Dream (IRE) Consistent but on a long losing run; could go well from lenient mark today.

      Rendita (IRE) Usually flatters to deceive; others should do better.

      The Priest Needs to say a few prayers to figure here.

      One To Go (IRE) One to avoid.
