In depth
Formwatch
Cooling Off (IRE) Equally effective on soft and good going; three solid runs to date and should go well here.
Herself Consistent novice hurdler; effective on most surfaces and looks to be going in the right direction; should be capable of winning this sort of event.
Martha Reilly (IRE) Did not have to be at his best to score at Stratford last time out; need to improve on that
Artist's Model Ran well at this time of the year last season but disappointing since; has raced on only on a soft surface.
Irish Cream (IRE) Would have been a favourite if this was run last year; chance if back to that sort of form but recent efforts have been poor.
Wink And Whisper Two good runs last year but disappointed on reappearance; should be fitter today with trainer in excellent form.
Sally Lightfoot Has been running well since being pulled up by Tony McCoy at Bangor three months ago; good effort three weeks ago and looks set to run a big race.
Dajam Vu Showed some promise on final start of last season but needs to improve once again to go close here.
Ryde Regatta Had shown promise in bumpers last season but was well beaten on all her hurdle starts since; best avoided.
Major Barbara Much improved run in slowly run race at Stratford on last start; suited by a fast surface.
Henbridge Form seemed to tail off last season and it was not that good to start with.
Top Team Yet to complete a hurdles race to date.
