In depth
Formwatch
French Executive (IRE) Should have come on for his recent second and respected here.
Gortroe Guy (IRE) Ex-Irish Chaser who is readily opposed here.
Gutsy Dalton (IRE) Well beaten in an Irish Hunter Chase; market best guide today.
Spiritual Dancer (IRE) Has form over heavy ground over the hurdles; has to be some concern about the ground here.
Sundance Sid (IRE) Phardante gelding; watch the market.
Time He Went Unsuccessful in claiming grade and desperately hard to fancy in this.
Durlston Bay Fair middle-distance animal on the flat; interesting recruit to hurdles.
Almanoso Yet to sparkle in hurdles events so far and has a tough task here.
Indeed To Goodness (IRE) Looks plenty exposed and would be vulnerable to a decent newcomer.
Millionformerthyr Moderate on flat and no show over the hurdles on debut.
Winnie Shown little to enthuse about.
