In depth
Formwatch
Ash Branch (IRE) One good run out of three last season and others are preferred.
Border Star (IRE) No real promise on two racecourse appearances.
Coursing Run (IRE) Best watched on debut although stable is in form.
First Alliance (IRE) Showed a fair amount of promise in a couple of bumpers but seems the type who will do better in time.
Gablesea Has not hinted at much ability in his three races to date and best left alone here.
Hi Buddy Rated 60 at his best on the level and unlikely to win.
Khan Kicker (IRE) Some decent form in Irish bumpers last season and should be ready today.
Lou's Wish Fair effort on last appearance over hurdles but will need to improve a fair amount to play a leading role here.
Miros (GER) Pulled up on only start; best left alone today.
Mr Cospector Stayed 12f on the Flat but rated only 60; best watched on hurdles debut.
My Bold Boyo Ran no sort of race last time out after fair effort on debut; probably will not be good enough here.
Penguin Bay Fair bumper performer; went chasing first time out and if this try over hurdles works out then should go close.
Red Alert Man (IRE) No promise in four outings.
Lady Manilla (IRE) Has the best hurdle form of those on show and has improved steadily; should run his race without troubling the judge.
Grand Ambition (USA) Has some fairly solid hurdle form but may be found out by a couple of these.
Sea Drifting Possibly has the best bumper form and looks the one to beat if taking to obstacles.
