Formwatch
Master Club Royal Overall level of form does not suggest a win here today.
Merry Masquerade (IRE) Always the first horse off the bridle but is genuine and stays this trip well; interesting recruit to chasing.
Oboedire (IRE) No real chance.
Wishbone (IRE) Some decent hurdle form and ran creditably on chase debut a couple of weeks ago; definite chance if favourite not taking to larger obstacles.
Thanks Keith Genuine type who jumps well in the main but lacks a finishing kick; likely to find a couple too good.
