In depth
Formwatch
Lancastrian Jet (IRE) Suited by stiff track and soft ground; 3lb lower than for the last of his two wins; solid claims.
Ballystone (IRE) Stable in good form; ideal conditions today and if his last run can be ignored then he has a live chance today.
Thanks Keith Stays 3m and goes on the ground; ran well behind Narrow Water last time and must have a chance if not finding this track too stiff.
Pink Gin Grand old campaigner who could spring a surprise on these youngsters at a track and trip that suits.
Storm Call Needs to improve on the best of his form to be involved here; has won over this course but others make greater appeal.
Tarrytown (IRE) In-form stable; possibly harshly treated for winning 3-runner handicap in November; improving type.
