In depth
Formwatch
Gotha (FR) Given stiff task last time and this is more his company; however, will struggle to stay this trip.
Tashreef Stepped up in distance and will need to improve to win this.
Border Farmer (IRE) Returned from absence and shaped as though needing the run; unlikely to figure here and remains best watched.
Gorsey Bank (IRE) Pulled up on last two runs and more of the same expected today.
Nuclear Beach Looks out of his depth here.
Pealings (IRE) Has shown ability over hurdles but yet to transfer that to the larger obstacles on two runs; should improve for the experience and needs to prove stamina over today's trip.
Philtre (IRE) Can handle this stiff test of stamina but unlikely to be good enough to trouble the judge.
Thatsforeel Good performance to finish second after absence and looks a leading contender here so long as he does not 'bounce'.
Hotscent (IRE) Unlikely to figure in this company.
Soundtrack (IRE) In good form notching up a hat-trick before falling in good race at Aintree; likely to be hard to beat against easier rivals.
Hardly (IRE) Has been struggling recently and unlikely to appreciate this step up in distance; place claims at best.
