In depth
Formwatch
Ajar (IRE) Was fourth in a class B handicap beaten 14lengths; this is a lot easier and definite place claims
Twinnings Grove (IRE) Fell on his debut this season; but he had won a maiden chase at the end of last season; however he looks badly handicapped on what he has archived
Shepherds Rest (IRE) Is an enigmatic performer but if things go his way he could win at a fair price
Ice Cool Lad (IRE) Has shown virtually nothing on his runs so far and he is readily passed over
Follow The Trend (IRE) Loves this course he has had a couple of runs so far this season and he should be spot on for this; definite place claims
Parliamentarian (IRE) Would have a major chance on his best form but he seems a shadow of his former self and he is readily passed over
Tidal Force (IRE) Has appeared to be very one paced at the end of his races and he may need to drop in the weights before he gets his head in front
Eirienne (IRE) Has shown only a modicum of ability and is readily passed over
Maidstone Magnet (IRE) Has failed to complete the course on two of the last three occasions and others are preferred
Italko (FR) Is out of the handicap and he needs to improve on his latest runs to win this
Baron Allfours Has shown his best form of late over longer trips and he may find this trip on the sharp side
