In depth
Formwatch
Groesfaen Lad Last 10 starts all coming at Wolverhampton and untried on this surface. In and out form makes him difficult to recomend
Hint of Magic Pipe-opener behind Mon Prefere should put him spot on for this;yard in form but needs to improve.
Salim Easy winner at Wolverhampton last month and better on that slightly slower surface. Modest efforts latest starts.
Caversfield Stands plenty of racing and landed a claimer at Southwell last time;more to do here.
Spirit of Light (IRE) Maiden who was dropped down to the lowest grade last time and seems regressive.
Lady Breanne (IRE) In great nick at the moment. Chased home Mytton's Again last time and looks the one to beat.
Victoriet Fourth on five of his last six starts suggest he is in the grip of the handicapper.
Magic Babe Seems out of sorts of late and first run for two months give him plenty to find.
Geronimo Low grade handicapper who has been tried over various distances; hard to fancy.
Ozawa (IRE) First run in over 230 days and yet to trouble the judge;same expected here.
Inviramental Dropping down the weights but out of form; recent moderate hurdles form mean he's not for the short list.
French Fancy (IRE) Seller winner from Apollo Red in February gives him a chance in what is a very weak contest.
