In depth
Formwatch
The Leader Form seemed regressive last season and unlikely to make an impact here.
Pace Stalker (USA) Looked a lot happier over hurdles and has struggled to come to terms with fences; it could click one day but best watched today.
Halham Tarn (IRE) Pulled up on reappearance and should be fitter today; still looks likely to struggle.
Bukehorn Should put in a clear round but is not the fastest of horses and looks unlikely to win.
Spilaw (FR) Has fairly reliable hurdle form but unlikely to make an impact on chase debut - even at this level.
Detachment (USA) Inconsistent and last appearance was a poor effort; best avoided here.
Mr Snaggle (IRE) Has the best hurdle form of those on show but was disappointing on only chase appearance; should have been schooled and holds every chance.
Who's To Say General level of form looks below what is required here.
