In depth
Formwatch
Northern Starlight His best form is over shorter and he would have preferred faster ground, others are preferred.
Lance Armstrong (IRE) Is in good form and he will like the ground but he may be to high in the weights now.
Kadou Nonantais (FR) Was once very useful but he is now on the down grade even so he still has a major chance in this company.
Better Offer (IRE) His best form is over shorter but if he lasts home he is the one to beat and he looks the value bet here.
Real Value (IRE) Is on a fair mark and has conditions to suit and is a danger to all.
Step On Eyre (IRE) His best form is over a lot further and he may be tapped for toe here.
Bouchasson (FR) Is well handicapped on his best form and he has conditions to suit, leading contender if in the mood.
Ambleside (IRE) Has everything in his favour toady but he looks high enough in the weights, place claims at best.
Good Time Melody (IRE) Is an in and out performer but would have a chance on his best form with conditions to suit.
Parahandy (IRE) Has been running well of late but he looks to high in the weights to win this.
Twisted Logic (IRE) Has won off this mark in the past and he could go well at a fair price.
Ballynabragget (IRE) Is a course and distance winner over hurdles but he will have to improve his fencing to win this.
Native King (IRE) Is well handicapped on old form but he has been disappointed of late and he is readily passed over.
Whispering Pines (NZ) Needs to improve on all known form to win this.
Galapiat du Mesnil (FR) Is an in-and -out performer but he has chances on his best form off a handy weight.
Pete The Parson (IRE) His best form is over shorter and he looks on the downgrade now.
