In depth
Formwatch
After The Blue (IRE) Trainer in form but worrying that he hasn't been up to winning lesser races than here.
Berewolf (IRE) Not seen out since debut at Wetherby and probably best watched today.
Candarli (IRE) Aga Khan reject who was well behind Impek on hurdles debut.
Castleshane (IRE) Highly tried but would need to show improvement to win here.
Corletto (POL) Seemed to produce best efforts on soft ground when trained in Poland; watch the market.
High Ratio (NZ) Didn't look to be a star in the making on Newbury debut.
In Contrast (IRE) Dual winner here in National Hunt Flat races; has to be respected on hurdles bow.
Just Adam Very difficult to make a case for on the book.
Seek Out of form in middle-distance events on the flat this term.
Strain The Rein Outclassed in champion bumper at Aintree but was in decent form beforehand.
Artemesia Disappointed on hurdles bow after some fair efforts in bumpers.
Sodelk Difficult to fancy.
Standing Bloom Hasn't shown too much since third in a Doncaster bumper.
Town Gossip (IRE) Plenty to do on recent racecourse evidence.
Joely Green Modest middle-distance performer on the flat; trainer has had a winner over jumps this season.
