In depth
Formwatch
Conquer (IRE) Won point to point debut in April 2000 on fast ground. First time over regulation fences today nad best watched.
Primero (IRE) Won last time out at Fontwell over similar trip narrowly, represented an improved performance. Was raised 6lbs in the handicap for this effort; must go close today.
Stretchit An eleven year old maiden; unlikely to win.
Derra Glen (IRE) Pulled Up and reported as lame last time at Newton Abbot, and fell at the second fence on penultimate start. Had resectable form last year, and should go better than most recent starts today.
Tidal Force (IRE) Finished third when easing down at Worcester last time. Looked an improved run and would have to be in with a chance today.
Amarach (IRE) Has Irish Hunter Chase Form which doe not suggest he could win this race; best watched on debut in Britain for respected trainer.
Minibelle Pulled up on last start at Sedgefield when tailed off and jumping badly. Has shown capable this season when winning over slightly further at Sedgefield back in July; but more recent form is disconcerting.
Marauder (IRE) Makes chasing debut today on the back of very moderate hurdle form; hard to fancy.
Happy Hussar (IRE) Managed to finish ahead of Primero last time at Stratford when Fourth. On latest efforts should go close.
Silent Action (USA) Shown little promise over hurdles; and form failed to improve on three starts over fences.
Malihabad (IRE) Form is too moderate to consider him today.
Winter Rose Last show of decent form was over hurdles back in February 2000. Seems to have lost interest and ability.
Multi Franchise Finished fourth, well beaten behind Divet Hill last time out at Sedgefield. Form over fences is not good enought to expect a win today.
Willie Wallace (IRE) Others preferred.
Surabaya (FR) Nothing to suggest she can win today.
Rusnetto (IRE) Does not have the form to produce a win today.
