In depth

Formwatch

Escort Has been difficult to train and faces stiff task under welter burden.

Jamaican Flight (USA) Thrown in on best form and Fallon booked; will handle testing conditions and can go close.

Pretty Obvious Useful winner in early days but form has tailed off.

Charming Admiral (IRE) Winning hurdler/chaser but maiden on Flat and was pulled up over fences latest.

Tikopia Plenty to prove after lengthy spell on sidelines.

Distant Storm Lightly raced last term and showed little on return.

Established In good form last year winning two handicaps but is much higher in weights and not certain to be suited by ground.

Ptah (IRE) Lost maiden tag in style at Musselburgh but more to do off 8lb higher mark.

Irish Sea (USA) Best watched on return from sidelines.

Knockdoo (IRE) Winning hurdler who has kept his form over timber this winter; will relish these conditions.

Martha Reilly (IRE) C/D winner of identical mark last term and will improve for return; holds first-rate claims.

Turned Out Well Fairly treated but is more effective on better ground and returns from absence.

Black Weasel (IRE) Hurdles winner who has been in fair form on all-weather; not so effective on this ground.

Drama King Has had his problems and returns from long absence.

Misalliance No encouragement on seasonal return.

Black Ice Boy (IRE) Has proved most disappointing.

Playmaker Makes no appeal.

Karin's Lad (IRE) Faces stiff task carrying 7lb more than long handicap mark.

Sparkling Dove No chance from 8lb out of the handicap proper.
