Formscan By Tom Weekes - ECHOES IN RAIN won the amateur handicap at this course in 2022 and drops in grade having been well held in the Ascot Gold Cup in June. A smart middle-distance hurdler, she could well be better suited by dropping to this type of flat middle-distance, given she is such a keen-goer. Azazat has smart recent form, is ground-versatile and should compete, despite running in first-time cheekpieces. She holds maiden Thunder Roll (by 1.75 lengths) and Final Gesture (11 lengths) on Cork form in June. In-form Amusement is ground-versatile and should get involved but also runs in first-time cheekpieces. Lot Of Joy has run three times at this course without winning and drops in distance.
