In depth
Formwatch
Pippin's Ford (IRE) Fallen last four outings which doesn't inspire too much; had useful hurdle form but not to be trusted.
Mercato (FR) Got off the mark over hurdles last time and with good amateur booked he should go close.
Kingdom Emperor Not won for nearly three years and although slipping to a handy mark should still find things tough.
Dan de Man (IRE) Has mainly been disappointing over fences and hurdles
Forest Run Forest Trip may be on the short side but has put in some decent efforts this term and deserves to win a race like this.
Eastern Tribute (USA) No match for winner last time when 2nd at Newcastle; should go better today and is one to consider.
Dream of Nurmi May find the ground against him today and others are preferred; can be a handful at the start.
Warrlin Has been out of form this term and although on a decent mark at present cannot be backed with confidence.
Executive Choice (IRE) Has won a couple of sellers this season but has gone off the boil of late.
Stone Cold Has taken time to come to hand this season but won well last time and is a live contender.
Silk Trader Just won on hurdling debut but this is a lot tougher.
Catullus Has won on the surface but has struggled in sellers since and is not one to trust here.
Meg's Memory (IRE) Finally won seller last time and has chance if improving on that.
Silken Thomas The type of lightly-raced horse who could take this sort of event; looks nicely weighted and could spring a surprise.
First Light Can put in the ocassional decent effort and although not well handicapped may run into a place.
Michael Finnegan (IRE) Suited by the surface and looks the type to go very well today.
Tiger Talk Likes to race up with the pace but may not be best suited by today's conditions.
Montasareen (USA) Another lightly-raced horse who could surprise at this time of the season.
Radomsko Has failed to get competitive this season and it will be a surprise to see him winning today.
Marsh Marigold Generally consistent but will find things hard here.
The Walrus (IRE) Not been in the best of form of late.
The Roundsills First run for over a year and best left alone.
