In depth
Formwatch
Earthmover (IRE) Below his best last season, best effort at Cheltenham in November when behind Foxchapel King. Off top weight; others preferred.
Arlas (FR) Comes off a hat trick of wins this summer, form looks progressive; must be for the short list
Hati Roy (IRE) Won at Cheltenham when beating Behrajan. Well beaten by Whats Up Boys at Aintree but outclassed in this grade one Company. Has not run since April but should go close.
Hannigan's Lodger (IRE) All recent form has been on more yielding ground over shorter trips; best watched in these conditions but does have ability.
Fard du Moulin Mas (FR) Pulled up last two starts on soft and heavy. Winning form two years ago on GF and good; likely to find others better.
