In depth

Formwatch

Un Jour A Vassy (FR) Only blip in recent form when pulled up at Warwick over fences in May; back to winning ways on return to hurdling at Taunton earlier this month and has solid claims of following up.

Burra Sahib Only rated 45 on flat when with John Akehurst; surprising if good enough on hurdles debut.

Commanche Jim (IRE) Best effort over hurdles when fourth behind Shareef at Wincanton last month; more needed here though.

Do Me A Favour (IRE) Well beaten behind Turkestan here at the beginning of the month on first start after a long absence; needs to improve.

Gola Supreme (IRE) May need first start of campaign after lay off; but stable's runners in reasonable form and should stay.

Native Hunter (IRE) Jumps-bred gelding from a stable whose runners always warrant respect; makes debut here.

Ski Pass Looks one of the stable's lesser lights judged by form last term; yard continue in a rich vein of form so dangerous to rule out entirely.

The Hearty Joker (IRE) Little sign of ability so far.

The Tall Guy (IRE) Form of Ayr bumper success in April looks solid; yet to reproduce similar level of ability over timber and probably best watched.
