          In depth

          Formwatch

          Regatta Point (IRE) Ultra-tough sort who rarely knows how to run a bad race; booking of Mick Kinane a bonus.

          Artillery (IRE) This looks easier on paper following a crack at the Queen's Vase.

          Ovambo (IRE) In tremendous form and races here having missed cut in the Ebor; the horse to beat.

          Damask Rose (IRE) From a stable with a remarkable record with its stayers on the Knavesmire; respect.

          Big Moment Fairly treated following victory over the trip at Goodwood latest; stable in form.

          Fly With Me Appears to progressing along the right lines and may reach a place.

          Harlestone Grey Appeared to display improvement for the step up in trip latest; trainer does well in this type of event.

          Compton Commander Very disappointing at Goodwood behind a number of today's leading players and hard to fancy.

          Post Box (USA) Showed wellbeing when landing small handicap at Salisbury but looks pretty high in the weights.

          Gin Palace (IRE) Chance of reversing Goodwood form with Big Moment at these weights.

          Warrsan (IRE) Impressive winner over Find The King at Sandown latest; claims of confirming form.

          Is Wonderful (USA) Appears to face stiff task at this level.

          Find The King (IRE) Tough colt who finds it hard to win; could still find improvement.

          Riyadh Looks well held on Goodwood form; may just need a faster surface.

          Prize Dancer (FR) Inconsistent sort who appears harshly treated.

          Rainbow River (IRE) Totally exposed and appears out of depth from 15lb wrong in weights.
