In depth
Formwatch
Cresswell Native (IRE) Has struggled to stay over further since winning at Fontwell and this slight ease in trip should suit; likely to run well on ground that should suit.
Gottabe Leading contender but may need a slightly stiffer test of stamina and bit to find with Waterberg.
Waterberg (IRE) Has been running really well in testing conditions and looks set for another bold bid today, although would appreciate further rain.
Immaterial (IRE) Running well at present but this step up in trip will test his stamina limitations.
Ashfield Jake (IRE) Difficult to assess on Point form but will struggle to win this.
Ballygarvan (IRE) Slight absence to overcome and would appreciate a stiffer test of stamina; should not be dismissed as he is open to improvement.
Coppeen Sam (IRE) This looks a stiff task on form so far and first time blinkers a worry.
Far Bridge (IRE) Well beaten on debut and will need to improve today; jockey booking a plus.
Finder Keeps (USA) Has shown little so far and remains best watched.
Light The Fuse (IRE) Has run well to finish second on last three runs but yet to win and will need more to win this better contest.
Little Farmer Poor form in Points and unlikely to figure today.
The Optician Pulled up on only run and hard to fancy today.
Tirley Storm Not disgraced in NH Flat Race but will need to improve to take a hand here.
West Aside (IRE) Well beaten on both starts and easily passed over.
Bellbird Looks out of her depth in this race.
Intrepid Gal Pulled up over these obstacles last time and best watched for now.
Just Beth Ran well in some decent NH Flat Races and could prove interesting over hurdles; may struggle to win this but one to keep an eye on.
La Boheme (IRE) Unlikely to take a hand against these rivals.
Persian Clover Not disgraced on two starts to date but has not shown enough to win this.
