In depth
Formwatch
Beaver Run (IRE) Didn't quite get home when tried over 2m 4f at Ayr in January; was best of the rest behind the smart Europa next time and should give a good account of herself today; acts on the ground.
Parlour Game Ran only twice; placed in a poor bumper in November and then did nothing wrong when winning on her hurdles debut; suspicion that the handicapper has been a little harsh with her but has scope for improvement and one to consider today.
Poachers Run (IRE) Poor effort last time; stepping down in trip today which may not be ideal; acts on the ground and the trip.
Cap It If You Can (IRE) Back to a winnable mark at present; ran a decent race last time and has won over this course and distance; top jockey booked today; one for the shortlist.
Forever Grey (IRE) Better suited by a longer trip and faster ground; has been chasing and others are preferred today.
One Stop Suited by today's conditions but out of the handicap; held by Cap It If You Can on recent effort here.
Dalton Lady Not much appeal from out of the handicap today.
