In depth
Formwatch
Beau (IRE) Was disappointing in the Charlie Hall, and has not really been in form since winning the Whitbred 2000 (handicap mark increased 14).
Earthmover (IRE) Returned to a nice win this season; looks to be in form and has the ability to go close.
You're Agoodun Won at Ascot on his seasonal debut, but did not beat much. Comes up against stiffer opposition today.
Jocks Cross (IRE) Won the Welsh National this year, fell in the Whitbred and is making his seasonal reappearance. Yard not firing as normal and likely to be better for the run.
Hati Roy (IRE) 13L behind Earthmover latest when probably needed the run. A consistent performer last season, including beating Behrajan at here; not readily dismissed.
Ceanannas Mor (IRE) Has had jumping problems in the past, but returned to win the Charisma Gold Gold last time. Clearly has ability and if the jumping holds up then must have every chance.
Flaxley Wood 21L behind Shooting Light last time here, best watched over this extended trip, but others preferred.
Spanish Main (IRE) Ground, course and trip will be in his favour, but may be a bit outclassed and looks to be stable's second string on jockey booking.
Montroe (IRE) 8L behind Ceanannas Mor on his seasonal reappearance, and his recent form does not suggest he will get much closer today.
The Quads Won a moderate affair at Carlisle comfortably, but will find this a lot tougher.
