In depth
Formwatch
Abbots Court (IRE) Has won two 3m point-to-points at Larkhill in easy fashion; this presents a very different test though.
Adventino Neltino gelding; from a top stable with crack amateur booked so worth watching the betting for any clues.
Big Joe Dakara Well beaten on Catterick debut in January.
Celtic Vision (IRE) Classical jumping pedigree, being by Be My Native out of a Deep Run mare; interesting trainer/jockey combination and likely to be a leading contender.
Gate of Dreams Unraced Exit To Nowhere six-year-old; booking of Adrian Maguire catches the eye.
Kingston-Banker Finished second in 3m point-to-point at Larkhill last month; looks to be stable second string here.
Lennox Ranger Finished well behind in both efforts so far.
New Development Out of the frame in two runs to date.
Phildari (IRE) Tenth on Ascot debut in race won by Beethoven last month.
Sir Norman Arctic Lord gelding; stable not noted for first-time-out winners.
The Nomad Promising third on Wetherby debut in race won by Let's Fly in November; likely to improve for the experience and decent chance here.
Hopbine Fifth at Doncaster on debut in race won by Gaia Grey; needs to improve.
Karmafair (IRE) Finished eighth on debut at Wetherby behind Sea Drifting; should come on for that debut.
Moorland Mews Showed plenty of speed when fifth to Lorgnette at Taunton in October; bit to find on form with some others here.
Supreme Bramble (IRE) Placed third at Newcastle and Wetherby on first two starts; stable has excellent strike-rate at this venue; good chance of getting off mark here.
Velvet Sword Finished well back on Doncaster debut in February.
Zaffaranni (IRE) Good second to Inflation at Warwick last month; leading contender.
Montana Roja Finished long way adrift of leaders on Doncaster debut in January.
Robber Baron (IRE) Un Desperado gelding from a top stable; worth watching in betting on this debut.
Red Square Man (IRE) Has not shown a great deal on both outings to date.
