In depth
Formwatch
Cruise Leader (IRE) Short of the best novice hurdlers but has to have a chance at this level.
Arctic Melody (IRE) Can't be fancied on form so far.
Augusta Grey Hurdling debut; little to recommend him from bumper form.
Fluff 'n' Puff Has form enough to be considered in this.
Heathyards Element Pieces of form give him a chance but he has an absence to overcome.
Hill Trail Hasn't shown anything thus far.
Kings Own No form to date.
Off The Hook (IRE) Fair bumper effort at Folkestone in December but finished well behind Ososhot at Haydock in January on hurdling debut.
Ososhot Not the easiest ride but has some fair hurdles efforts behind him and has to be considered at this level.
Angharad's Angel (IRE) Not much to recommend her today.
April Louise Wasn't disgraced on hurdling debut but would need to step up again.
Graig Hill Rose Needs to show a lot more than she did in bumpers.
Legal Perk (IRE) Racecourse debut; chances are she'll need it.
Lillieplant (IRE) Winning pointer over three miles; not disgraced on recent hurdles run although more needed today.
