In depth
Formwatch
Commanche Grey (IRE) Some promise in bumpers and makes hurdling debut today.
Dizzy Lad (IRE) No show in a bumper at Newbury on April 7.
Johnlegood Some promise in bumpers; hurdling debut today.
Lord Broadway (IRE) Some promise on sole bumper run; could run well in a race that does not have strength in depth.
Midnight Emperor (IRE) Good effort to finish second to Another Raleagh at Wincanton last time; looks to have a favourite's chance.
Mudslide Winning pointer who makes his hurdling debut today; from the Paul Nicholls team so warrants consideration.
Pharpen (IRE) Pointer who finished second in a Newton Abbot bumper in June last year on good to firm; more needed.
Royal Chime (IRE) Unraced Gardie Grissell gelding who'd be hard to fancy on his debut.
Sharakapour (IRE) Came to England with a good reputation; if he can reproduce his debut effort behind Iznogoud at Chepstow then he has to have a very good chance.
Strike Accord (IRE) No show to date.
Zorro Has won three times on the Flat, including on the AW, at distances up to 13 furlongs; hurdling debutante but could make a mark.
Cosimworthit Hurdling debutante but has little to recommend her on racing efforts.
Fancy Hand Unraced mare; watch the market to gauge her chances.
Native Fox Has shown promise in bumpers but hasn't run since November of last year. By Be My Native out of a poor Deep Run mare.
Stonehill Prospect Pulled up in two points; hard to fancy.
Aranui (IRE) Little show on the Flat and others preferred today.
