In depth

Formwatch

Redemption Progressive chaser this term, following reappearance success at Wetherby with creditable second to Banker Count at same track last time; off same mark here and may be suited by return to two miles.

Lord York (IRE) Three times successful since beginning of May, including over C&D on first start for five months recently; raised 6lb for that win but faster ground here a huge advantage.

Ashwell Boy (IRE) Defied a near five month absence when winning at Kempton last time;more needed here but with stable continuing in fine form has to be respected.

Catfish Keith (IRE) Well beaten here recently (held by Lord York); may be better judged on previous form at Towcester but difficult to fancy.

Corniche (IRE) Capable chaser but tends to find at least one too good; should do again in this company.
