In depth
Formwatch
Celibate (IRE) Course winner in December over two miles and races off same mark here. Has been competing in good company since then, but is not as effective over this further trip.
Robbo Generally consistent chaser who loves to come with a late rattle, but this course and distance likely to be too sharp for him.
Eau de Cologne Has not raced since good win over three miles at Kempton in December. Remains on a fair mark but this trip looks to be a bit sharp for him.
Super Coin Genuine course specialist who has returned to something like his old self in three starts this season. Races off an attractive mark and is one of the few here who genuinely has conditions to suit him. Big chance.
The Land Agent Has not raced since November but has run well when fresh and would have a reasonable chance obn his best form, as going and distance look ideal.
Super Tactics (IRE) 13 years old now and has generally been disappointing this season. Surprise if he proved good enough.
Native Fling (IRE) Won both starts last year but has failed to sparkle in two runs this season, the most recent at Kempton in January. His best form has come over shorter trips than this.
