In depth
Formwatch
Premier Generation (IRE) Finished 9 lengths ahead of Krabloonik last time and they meet on the same terms today; gradually getting it together over fences.
Spring Grove (IRE) Solid novices' form and every reason to expect him to go well today.
Isle Be Lord (NZ) His level of form looks short of what's required here.
Krabloonik (FR) Has scope for chasing; has a bit to find with Premier Generation on their Doncaster run on Jan 26, but he could well improve on that.
Maharajah (IRE) Has raced only once, when showing promise in a bumper; a half-sister to Anzum but this is a step into the deep end at the first time of asking over fences.
Wellow (IRE) Hasn't run for a while and his Flat form didn't warrant a postcard home.
Rusty Flame Little show under Rules or in points.
