In depth
Formwatch
Ballinclay King (IRE) Extremely useful novice hurdler last season; not as good so far over fences but has put in some sound efforts this season; likes the ground and seems the one to beat today.
Needwood Lion Front runner who was unlucky when falling last time; handles the ground and the track looks like it will suit; in with a good shout.
Crazy Horse (IRE) Should be better suited by this right-handed track; travelling and jumping well when unseating jockey at Kelso on Friday; interesting challenger.
Hancock Ran his best race to date last time but is slightly outclassed today.
Tonoco Not an easy task in this company and surely easier opportunities could be found for this former very useful novice hurdler.
