In depth
Formwatch
Galant Moss (FR) Last win was in France, well beaten on his seasonal debut; others preferred.
Historic (IRE) 3rd behind Boss Doyle on his seasonal reappearance, consistent performer last season and place chances today.
Brother Joe (NZ) Was 3rd in the Ebor, and followed this up with an easy win here over 2m5f. Providing he can stay the trip must have a good chance..
Spendid (IRE) Infront of Historic at Wetherby, his first hurdle race since April 1998. Looks to be in form and yard have just started firing.
Darapour (IRE) Disappointing last time out, but back to back wins over the summer. Should be effective over this trip and likely to go close.
It Takes Time (IRE) Unbeaten over hurdles on varying trips. Up against a lot more today but definite chances.
Killerine (FR) Well beaten at Aintree on seasonal debut, won over fences last season. Likely to find this too competitive.
Wemyss Quest Has been running really well recently in Novice company including C&D latest; must go well off this weight first time in Handicap company.
Young Dalesman Consistent so far this season, but likely to find others better.
