Formwatch
Ashley Muck Soundly beaten by Valley Henry when bidding for a six timer. His latest train of wins have been over 2m5f, first go over this trip; should go well.
Lucky Clover Second to Relaxation in a not particularly competitive affair at Exeter; likely to struggle with his double penalty in this company.
Happy Hussar (IRE) Shock 100/1 winner penultimate start, subsequently beaten in the soft. With stable in form must have place chances.
Southern Star (IRE) Impressive winner at Bangor on his chasing debut. Very useful over hurdles (rated 121); must be the one to beat today.
Spinning Silver Well beaten on his two bumper starts; makes little appeal on his chasing debut in this company.
L S Lowry (USA) A string of placed form over shorter trips lately, has yet to score a win over fences and is not likely to do so today.
