In depth

Formwatch

Bogus Dreams (IRE) Well placed to win last two starts; likes to make the running and handles all ground; looks sure to go well off current mark.

Catchy Word Given enterprising ride when scoring at Windsor in June but most disappointing last two starts; best watched here.

Vintage Premium Fast ground is of major concern for this mudlark who is 7lb better in for a four-length beating behind Bogus Dreams on Epsom form.

Down To The Woods (USA) Useful juvenile and dispelled stamina fears over this trip on last two outings; very unlucky in better company latest; compensation awaits.

Prize Winner Smart 2nd behind well-regarded Terrestrial at HQ in May gives him a chance but has been below par of late; others preferred.

Ice Took advantage of lenient mark latest when getting soft lead; will be taken on here and races off 5lb higher mark.

Nadour Al Bahr (IRE) Showed return to form latest (now 2lb higher) but would have preferred more cut in the ground.

Culzean (IRE) Won weakish event at kempton latest (now 5lb higher); not the most straightforward of rides and may find at least one too good here.
