In depth
Formwatch
Fusul (USA) Won poor claimer last time and this is a lot more competitive; place opportunities at best.
Butrinto Looked one paced last time over a much shorter distance; could struggle to last home.
Dame Fonteyn Has been disappointing over hurdles recently and should appreciate this return to the Flat; interesting candidate.
Gandon Excellent effort last time and looks very much the one to beat.
Field Master (IRE) Taking a huge step up in trip but was staying on nicely last time and could run into a place.
Open Ground (IRE) Winning hurdler and moderate AW performer; could go well if reproducing Flat form of last season.
Bless Only just lasted home last time over a furlong shorter and may struggle.
Aveiro (IRE) But up best performance when 2nd to Remember Star on penultimate start; this looks a lot tougher and place possibilities at best.
Monacle Moderate hurdler who may struggle here even at this lowly grade.
Le Cavalier (USA) Consistent gelding who holds Gandon and Aveiro on recent runnings; could go close at a decent price.
Ellamine Tailed off on last run and no real chance here.
April Star Lightly raced but out of form recently.
