In depth
Formwatch
Red Striker Won 2m 4f chase at Newcastle in January; well beaten by Banker Count at Kelso last time; reverts to hurdles here.
Boro Sovereign (IRE) Lightly raced sort; won at Towcester in December 1999 and followed with a third at Ascot to Cotteir Chief in January 2000; absent since.
Karratha (IRE) Beat Air Shot by 2l over 2m 3f at Warwick last time out; in good form and leading contender here.
Lord of The Flies (IRE) Well beaten last two starts and absent since October.
Andy's Lad (IRE) Won two chases at Catterick in January; ninth to Batswing over hurdles at Doncaster last time out and cannot be ruled out in less competitive affair.
Tarxien Has found the company too hot in maiden hurdle company last twice, so hard to fancy here.
My Good Son (NZ) Beat Knockdoo in 2m 4f Haydock hurdle on second outing this term; could improve a little for that and reasonable chance of following up here.
Lucky Master (IRE) Third to Paris Pike in novices' chase at Uttoxeter when last seen in March 2000; likely to need this race.
Arctic Challenge (IRE) Placed in last five outings and looks rather onepaced in the finish; contender for the frame again.
Poachers Run (IRE) Has not shown much lately and looks to have a stiff task now.
Red Blazer (NZ) Followed Fakenham win with decent third to Belle D'Orsini at Doncaster; has chances off light weight.
