In depth
Formwatch
Cromwell (IRE) Course specialist who can never be ruled out here and even managed to score away from
Joint Account Fair hunter chaser but has been absent for a year and is likely to be better for the run.
Chopwell Curtains Decent handicapper a few years ago but really struggling since returning in the New Year; hard to fancy.
Sad Mad Bad (USA) Capable on his day but tends to flatter to deceive and is not one to take a short price about.
Jazil Could be given a chance if getting his jumping together, but has tipped up on his two most recent outings and is readily opposed.
Platonic-My-Eye (IRE) Came good at Ludlow last time and good be on the upgrade; in here off a fair mark and likely to go close once again.
Jokers Charm One paced sort but invariably gets into the action and likely to give supporters a fair run for their money.
Just Strong (IRE) Has nearly a year's absence to overcome and is unlikely to be straight enough to do himself justice.
Castle Clear (IRE) Untrustworthy sort who tends to take a strong hold and doesn't look good enough for this contest.
Guilsborough Gorse No great shakes and is hard to fancy.
Sissinghurst Flyer (IRE) Won with plenty in hand at Leicester latest, handles this ground and could run into a place at least; interesting.
Over The Beck (IRE) Difficult ride and flattered by placed finish last time out; looks set to struggle.
Mill Orchid One paced sort who tends to find a few too good and can't be recommended today.
Santa Jet (IRE) Out of form and looks to have no chance here.
Blotoft Has tried to refuse on occasions and hard to visualize him taking a hand here.
Royal Event Out of form last two starts and despite the assistance of a Maguire is hard to get excited about in this company.
