        Formwatch

        Hanakham (IRE) Smart horse when landing the Sun Alliance Chase when trained by Martin Pipe. May need the race en-route to a possible crack at the Grand National

        Moral Support (IRE) Very progressive stayer this season who failed to land five wins an a row when an honourable second in the Welsh National. Loves the mud and could still be going the right way

        Amberleigh House (IRE) The second Ginger McCain-trained runner who is held in high regard at Cholmondley Castle

        Random Harvest (IRE) Ran really well when successful at Wetherby in November but has yet to reproduce that showing

        Esprit De Cotte (FR) French import who has completed on only three occasions over fences, currently 100/1 for the Grand National but if he runs into a place watch those odds disappear!

        Cheerful Aspect (IRE) Racing off a 2lb higher mark than when successful at Newbury and not badly weighted

        St Mellion Par (IRE) Bolted up here in a novices' handicap last month and loves the mud

        Eltigri (FR) Successful in all three of his completed chases in Britain and not one to discard

        Folly Road (IRE) Failed to complete the course on three of his last four starts and not one to place trust in

        Woodfield Gale (IRE) A nice horse who made a promising debut for current connections when fourth at Doncaster a fortnight ago
