In depth
Formwatch
Beehive Lad Showed very little in bumpers; hurdle debut and others preferred.
Compton Arrow (IRE) His best form on the flat was with cut in the ground over seven furlongs if he stays he will be a major player.
Long Lunch (IRE) Won a bumper over course and distance two years ago and he will be the one to beat if he is fit.
Midland Flame (IRE) Ran well to be second in a bumper on debut is from a top yard and one to note in the market.
Montalcino (IRE) Has won over a mile and a half on the flat but he may prefer a longer trip than this over hurdles.
Nominator Lad Has won over ten furlongs on the flat but he will have to be above average to take a hand on this his debut over hurdles.
O J Selym (IRE) He has shown only a modicum of ability so far and he may need a longer trip to be at his best.

Yakareem (IRE) Won over nine furlongs on the flat but he will have to be above average to win here.
Juno Beach Was well beaten in a maiden last time and he needs to improve markedly to win this.
