Formwatch
Alsahib (USA) Ran a cracker at Wolverhampton last time and clearly thrives on racing; claims.
Vincent Multiple winner last year who loves it around here; should strip fitter for a recent reappearance; place claims.
Linea-G Tough dual-purpose performer who scored well here in December; lost no caste in defeat on latest two starts; prospects.
Kent Three-times course and distance winner from only four starts; clearly in great heart and the one to beat.
Batoutoftheblue Hard to win with but ran well here when in the frame on both last two starts.
Alhesn (USA) Can confirm recent Wolverhampton form with Alsahib.
Poly Amanshaa (IRE) Without a win on the flat since 1994.
Pillager Disappointing maiden who has plenty to prove on the balance of form.
Sconced (USA) Cracking effort when successful here the other day but unproven over the trip.
Sergeant's Inn Lightly raced maiden having first start in handicap company; trainer in form; dark horse.
Arawak Prince (IRE) Showed first form on all-weather when third in Lingfield claimer last time; winner over hurdles and stays well.
