In depth
Formwatch
Assured Physique Middle distance maiden on the flat (rated 46); could be the type to improve over hurdles but difficult to fancy.
Bajan Sunset (IRE) Poor recruit from the flat and surprising if good enough.
Cameron Bridge (IRE) Has shown ability, including when fifth to Rose Of Tracarta at Wincanton on latest start; should run usual good race again.
Oscarvana No real encouragement from two starts so far.
Seek Solid claims on best of flat form with Luca Cumani; weakened on run-in on hurdling debut for Jim Old but can do better.
St Helensfield Useful flat performer on his day with Mark Johnston (rated in the 80s); hurdling debut here and sure to have been well schooled. The one to beat if translating best of flat form to hurdles.
Toorak (USA) Debut for Irish River gelding; yard capable of producing one first time out.
Yafa Makes limited appeal on debut.
Gay Lover Only moderate on the flat; no reason to suggest hurdles will improve her.
Seem of Gold Newton Abbot bumper winner on fourth start (form looks reasonable); this is harder with a couple of good recruits from the flat in opposition.
Sigy Point King's Signet gelding; makes debut here and difficult to recommend.
Spark of Life Middle distance filly on the level; should be suited by this sort of trip over hurdles but this is not an easy introduction.
Beachtime Place claims on second at Folkestone in bumper company in May; has shown little since though.
