Formwatch
Billy Bathwick (IRE) Did well to get the better of Queen's Pageant at Windsor but hasn't shown too much since.
Danakil Fair effort at Kempton latest; chances if staying this trip.
Lahaay Consistent enough performer but invariably finds one or two too good for him.
Lemarate (USA) Yet to sparkle.
Shaman In and out performer; may not be good enough to win this.
First Steps (IRE) Won a Class D Fillies Handicap so obvious chance here if good enough to defy a penalty.
Stitch In Time Still well handicapped on the balance of form but he looks a temperamental individual.
Democracy (IRE) Moderate performer who is opposable today.
Able Millenium (IRE) More at home in sellers and claimers than in handicaps.
Persian Spirit First time out but trainer won't be shy of having hhim racefit today.
Dihatjum Has a clear chance on a recent second in a Sandown handicap.
Busy Busy Bee All-weather performer who is best watched after long layoff.
Castlebridge Gained his recent win in a seller but has done precious little else.
April's Comait Didn't look to enjoy his step up in trip and this extra distance probably won't help either.
Etisalat (IRE) Form on turf is far from anything to write home about.
