      In depth

      Formwatch

      Palouse (IRE) Back to back wins earlier in the season, will like the ground and trip not a problem; market best watched.

      Seebald (GER) Very easy C&D winner last time (St Pirran unseated rider). Unbeaten in four chase starts; has to find more in this company but sound chances.

      Fondmort (FR) Took to fences well with a 10L victory over this trip. Best form with cut in the ground but has to be for the short list today.

      Monitor 10.5L beaten by Moscow Flyer last time, likely to find others better.

      Sandy Duff More experienced than most here, comes here off distance back to back wins; will like conditions but will find this tougher.

      Wrens Island (IRE) A hunter Chase winner, but has failed to make the cut in Handicap chases; others preferred.

      Armaturk (FR) A classy performer over hurdles, rated 130; makes his chasing debut; is very gutsy but may need the experience in this company.
