In depth
Formwatch
Jayas (FR) Fair ex-French novice; scored on British debut in a driving finish and should go on to better things. Has plenty of weight but still sure to prove hard to beat today.
Echo du Lac (FR) Reportedly suffered breathing problems last time, but had previusly shaped well at Warwick; needs to improve to figure here though.
Pace Stalker (USA) Ina nd out performer who might find this a bit tough but is capable of running into a place if on a going day.
Frankie Willow (IRE) Good effort last time when chasing home Barrigan's Hill at Huntingdon; may find today's trip a touch on the short side though and looks opposable.
Tullons Lane Moderate performer who will struggle to amke any impression in today's contest.
Arctic Spirit Only modest but put up a fair effort last time; however despite the fact that he goes on the ground is still hard to enthuse over.
