Formwatch
Bush Park (IRE) Carries a penalty for winning chase debut. His future clearly lies in chasing but will struggle to carry the penalty.
Hit Royal (FR) A winner over hurdles at 3m, only just beaten over shorter trip on his last run in August. Chasing debut today and best watched.
Sing Solo (IRE) His form lacks consistency and his last two runs over hurdles have been disappointing. Runs fresh for his first time over fences.
Awesome Aunt (IRE) Won at Stratford when the fav fell, but had been progressive before. Plan was always to go chasing and capable of being in the shake up.
Diamond Hall BF penultimate start in a chase at Sedgefield and was disappointing when well beaten subsequently. Has an extra 3F today which could help him.
Iron N Gold Has been tried over various trips chasing with some decent placed form, off a better mark today and cannot be entirely dismissed.
Zaffaran Winds (IRE) Well beaten in his two chase starts, and has not not shown enough over hurdles to be hopeful about today.
Remember Star Won a selling hurdle last time, but probably not capable of much better over fences.
Be My Raleagh (IRE) Pulled up behind Awesome Aunt at Stratford, uninspiring on other form; others preferred.
