Formwatch
Harlequin Won a Bath classified stakes very comfortable last time and is clearly on the upgrade; could well be up to carrying this weight with distinction.
Saabirr Caught a tartar at Yarmouth latest but had previously shown enough ability to win a race; appears to have plenty of weight though for what he's achieved so far.
Shush Has been crying out for a step up in trip and is likely to show improved form; not without a chance in a competitive heat.
Fly With Me Outclassed in better grade last time but had previously run well at this level and cannot be ruled out.
Morshid (USA) Has proved a shade disappointing overall and may have to wait for the handicapper to relent before getting his head in front.
Caqui d'Or (IRE) Improved for the step up in trip when successful latest and could continue to pay his way; sure to be there or thereabouts.
Bolshoi Ballet hasn't shown too much sign of training on and is best watched for the time being.
Reims (IRE) Plenty to find wuth Caqui D'Or on recent running and looks well held.
Bunkum Won an A/W handicap but doesn't looks as good on turf and is hard to fancy.
Johnson's Point Really well handicapped at present and ran far better than finishing position suggests when meeting trouble in running last time out. Could be worth an interest at a fair price.
Caspian Plenty of ability shown on first two starts as a juvenille before running badly at YOrk and not seen since. Has been given time and may reward connections in due course.
