In depth
Formwatch
Killerine (FR) Got found out when stepped up in class last time but, back at this level, has a good chance.
Golden Eagle Formerly with Nicky Henderson where his form would stand up here; has a long absence and, presumably, training problems to overcome.
Hardly (IRE) He's finished runner up to a couple of decent animals this year; has to be considered.
Mandate (IRE) Hasn't caught the eye in points or in one run under Rules; doubtful contender.
Welsh Lad (IRE) Chasing debut and doubtful that the code will be cracked at the first time of asking.
White In Front Two pounds better off (including rider's allowance) for finishing five lengths behind Delaware last time; can't make a strong case for him.
Delaware (FR) Holds White In Font on their latest run; another French import who probably has yet to show his best.
Ingenu (FR) Another French import who is a little hard to assess; can't be ruled out.
Camus des Mottes (FR) Only five but nothing to write home about in his form figures to date.
Hero's Son (FR) Decent second to Mister Benjamin last time; you can plead his case, as with a number of others.
Ceanannas Mor (IRE) Took a tumble at Cheltenham last time; previous form fully entitles him to respect.
Colquhoun Best effort in this country came last time; drops back in trip here; could improve again.
Maharajah (IRE) Has only one bumper run behind him; stable is canny so the market may provide any clues that exist.
