In depth
Formwatch
Karratha (IRE) Future chaser who should run a big race; however the ground may count against him.
Blazing Lord Little ability in three bumpers to date.
Chaucers Miller Maiden point-to-pointer who looks to have a mountain to climb.
Dyffryn Prince (IRE) Winning point-to-pointer last year who cannot be ruled out.
Hunters Wood (IRE) Does not make any great appeal on breeding.
Its Gotta Be Alfie (IRE) Some ability in Aintree bumper in November; small each way chance.
Moody Buck Little ability in sole start to date and one to ignore.
Never Wonder (IRE) Winning point-to-pointer form a stable that knows the price of fish.
Nimbus Stratus Little hope of pulling off a shock in this company.
Owen's Pet (IRE) Not disgraced in a decent novices' hurdle at Ascot last month; has a chance.
Springhill Clear pick on form when runner-up to Mr Cool and Europa last two starts; should win.
Tomich (IRE) Plenty of improvement needed on sole start at Sandown last month.
Venn Ottery No ability shown on only start at Newbury last month.
Beaford Game Former winning pointer but off the track for a long time; remains to be seen how much ability the Rackenford mare retains.
Miss Arzanni Some ability in three bumpers and no forlorn hope.
Palmason Little chance at this level.
Trina Bawden Remezzo mare who should make a steeplechaser; trainer has travelled a long way to run.
Le Prince Another future staying chaser who should be thereabouts; lacks the scope.
