In depth
Formwatch
Platonic-My-Eye (IRE) Ex-Irish import who has shown little ability so far in Britain.
Stormhill Stag Ex-Peter Bowen inmate having only his third run over fences; leading contender.
Peewit Bridge Well suited by both trip and going; chances if his jumping improves.
Coolteen Hero (IRE) Tough veteran who rarely runs a poor race; should relish these less testing conditions.
Medium Wave Very well treated on the best of last year's form; the fitting of a visor is a worry however.
Jason's Boy Well handicapped on his best form and lack of a recent run should not pose a problem.
Bowles Patrol (IRE) Running well over timber this season and well treated back over the larger obstacles
Gaultier Gale (IRE) Absent since Oct 19 last year; form tapered off after winning during the summer; 5 lbs higher than for last win.
Rising Trout Hasn't set the world alight chasing although his best hurdles form, if translated to chasing, would entitle him to consideration.
Rufius (IRE) You could give him a chance on his run at Cheltenham in October but he has failed to replicate that since.
Measured Step (IRE) Very lightly-raced and had to have another break since last run, having shown some promise on seasonal return.
Ronans Choice (IRE) Irish point-to-point winner who hasn't really shown in four runs under Rules in Britain.
Odell (IRE) Hasn't shown any form for a while and has a break to overcome as well.
