        In depth

        Formwatch

        Leading Optimist Has won three times since May over similar trip and distance; McCoy, Pipe combination makes him the one to beat today.

        Veneguera (IRE) Finished second last time out over shorter trip; likely to appreciate the extra distance; cannot be ignored today.

        Fasil (IRE) Won back in December 1999. On recent form looks unlikely to win today.

        Exterior Profiles (IRE) UR at Southall last time when disputing lead. 11.5L beaten by Mr Cavallo in early August. Won a hurdle at Hexham back in May.

        Mr Cavallo (IRE) Useful horse over both hurdles and fences. Won on penultimate start at Sedgefield. Trainer travels a long way with her charge; must be considered.

        Springford (IRE) Has won over a shorter distance a long time ago; recent form makes win unlikely today.

        Watkins Was fourth last time out at Newton Abbot but beaten 26L. On rest of form makes little appeal.

        Moor Hall Lady Moderate form; nothing to suggest this 10 year old can win today.

        Welsh Park (IRE) Beaten 53L by Mr Cavallo last time out at Sedgefield; would struggle to make the frame today.

        Just Because (IRE) Very difficult to fancy in this contest.
