In depth
Formwatch
Infrasonique (FR) A winner in France, but has been beaten on his two chase starts in this country; needs to find a bit more to win this.
Risk Accessor (IRE) Made his chasing debut a winning one, and has very sound hurdle form; must be the one to beat.
Cornish Gale (IRE) A winner over 2m3f. Looks to be improving over fences; cannot be ignored.
Tribal King (IRE) A close second on his chasing debut in May; likely to need the run.
