In depth

Formwatch

Canford (IRE) Should handle the conditions but faces no easy task giving weight away on his first try at this trip.

Majestic Bay (IRE) Rider's claim off-sets the 5lb rise since his last win at Newbury in July and goes well here, (course and distance winner on heavy going last year) should go well.

Bawsian Acts on soft but has a little to prove at this trip, best watched.

Dancing Bay Trip and going should not be a problem but has yet to trouble the judge this term and may benefit from a drop in the ratings.

Prairie Falcon (IRE) Fairly treated on the best of his form and shaped as if a return to form was imminent last time, but all his best form has come on faster ground.

Palua Very consistent and should handle the ground but is yet to win and may be best after 140 days off the track.

Red Ramona Poor strike rate for one with his ability, but has run with credit on his two outings this term.

You're Special (USA) Not seen since touched off by Guard Duty in the Queens prize at Kempton in April however, he has conditions to his liking if on song after his lay-off.

Sudden Flight (IRE) Another who looks to have his ideal underfoot conditions and has been knocking on the door of late, one to consider from a stable in form.

Flying Lyric (IRE) Best efforts on firmer ground and has a little to find with some of these.

Balladeer (IRE) Looks a little high in the weights for what he has actually achieved so-far and although he should handle the ground, others look to have stronger claims.

Abyssinian Wolf Handled soft ground when running four lengths behind Villa Carlotta at Thirsk in May however and is still open to improvement however, this looks to be his toughest assignment yet and he may struggle against these seasoned campaigners.

Three Lions A little to prove at this trip and others preferred.

Post Box (USA) Failed to shine since losing his maiden tag at Salisbury in June, and needs to prove he handles these big fields.

Lord Joshua (IRE) Lack of consistency makes him hard to enthuse to much about, and although he has ability, others look to have stronger claims.

Is Wonderful (USA) Not disgraced behind Artillery at York last time and not without a chance if coping with the conditions.

Solitary Best effort this season came when a short head second to Mr Fortywinks at Ripon in April, but has been disappointing since and best watched.

Find The King (IRE) Largely in good form this term, but faded tamely away to finish last at York last time and has a little to prove here.

Middlethorpe Capable on his day and had a boost to his confidence at Pontefract last time, This looks much tougher and others preferred.

Caqui d'Or (IRE) Displayed a good attitude when landing the spoils at Nottingham but showed very little on his only try on heavy ground and is another to watch.
