In depth
Formwatch
Cadougold (FR) Beaten when falling at the last at Ascot last time; has not always looked the most natural of chasers but has to be respected here although slightly longer trip would suit.
Tonoco Came down early on the in the Martell Maghull Novices' Chase behind Ballinclay King at Aintree last time; had looked progressive previously and worth another chance.
Spinofski Won well enough at Newbury but has more on his plate here.
Bankersdraft Looks way out of his depth in this company.
Bob's Buster Well beaten in handicaps recently; likely to be a similar story again.
Rising Talisker Pulled up in a point-to-point most recently; likely to be outclassed.
Zaffaran Winds (IRE) Only moderate form over hurdles; chase debut here.
Bobs Tornado (IRE) Impossible to fancy on all known form.
