In depth
Formwatch
It's All A Chance (IRE) Dropping down in class but has shown little this term to suggest a bold show here.
Colonial Rule (USA) Blinkered for the first time over hurdles today and looks nicely weighted today; should go well.
Fifteen Reds First run for new stable and will need to improve on previous efforts to be a major player here.
Kierchem (IRE) Has not won over hurdles for a long time and no reason to suggest he can do better than a place today.
Needwood Spirit Stable in form but this gelding has shown little recently and others are preferred.
Zabionic (IRE) Not the best of jumpers and has been generally disappointing; held by Colonial Rule on latest running.
Tender Touch (IRE) Still to win over hurdles and nothing to suggest things will be different today.
Dispol Trump Might improve for this better surface but one placed effort from 11 starts tells its own story.
Charity Crusader Quirky character who has slid down the weights this season but has not shown much recently.
Red Raki Dropping in class and open to improvement; tongue tied for the first time today; interesting runner.
Mill Afrique Will appreciate this faster surface and is on for the shortlist based on flat form; should stay the trip.
Shady Suspect (USA) Little to recommend on hurdles form so far.
Coble Not as good as he was but is thrown in on old form; not one to trust however.
Hussy Place chances if finishing; tends to pull up more often than not.
Running Free (IRE) Poor maiden hurdler; has a lot to find.
Freedom Road (IRE) Burst blood last time but has little worthwhile form; hard to see him winning.
Slim Prior Yet to win over hurdles; should have come on for both outings this term and quite well handicapped on best of form.
Yelapa Prince (IRE) First run since October and is still a maiden; best avoided here.
