In depth
Formwatch
Tyneandthyneagain Won in impressive style here last month; little to choose between him and Spring Margot on recent form.
Gottabe Held by Tyneandthyneagain on course form last month; should not be far away though.
Broom Close (IRE) Has a long absence to overcome.
Clonshire Paddy (IRE) Little sign of encouragement so far.
Dorans Magic Has been highly tried but likely to again find at least one too good.
General Custer (IRE) Looks out of his depth in this company.
Magicman Only moderate.
Red Adhere Racecourse debut; unlikely to be good enough.
River Rebel Well beaten on debut last month.
This One Is A Boy (IRE) Hurdles debut; showed little on only start in bumper company.
Tobesure (IRE) Only a weak race that he won; has struggled since.
Tuba (IRE) One of the stable's lesser lights.
Vert Espere Only plating class.
Witkowski (IRE) Has form in the point-to-point sphere; likely to find at least one too quick for him here.
Mary Farrell Has a long absence to overcome but now with Martin Pipe so impossible to ignore.
Michael's Princess Signs of ability but needs to improve on all known evidence to take a hand.
Pennyahei Nothing out of the ordinary but could sneak a place if running up to her best.
Spring Margot (FR) Did not seem to get this trip at Fakenham earlier in the season but has improved since and should be in the shake-up again.
Cassia Heights Probably flattered by second to The Prince in November; has shown little since.
