In depth
Formwatch
Fiori Decent middle distance handicapper on the flat who has taken well to hurdles winning twice and boasting good placed form behind some class horses. Clear form pick here, despite his penalty.
Dower House Quite good form in two hurdles outings so far, including a defeat of the useful Rum Pointer. Has something to find with Fiori on overall form but was rated much higher than that one on the flat and with the stable in such good form he cannot be ignored.
Ancient Quest Beaten fourteen lengths by Fiori at Uttoxeter and although he looks a nice sort he may struggle to reverse that form here.
Baysgarth (IRE) Well beaten both starts in bumpers and impossible to fancy on hurdles debut.
Bee Soundly beaten at Sedgefield on hurdles debut and faces an uphill struggle here.
Beehive Lad No chance on form he has shown so far in bumpers and one run over hurdles.
Cadw (IRE) Has not raced on flat for nearly two years and was only a plater so this looks a very stiff task on hurdles debut.
Hammer And Tongs (IRE) Well beaten in a seller at Doncaster last time and this looks a lot harder.
Josameric Soundly beaten in bumpers and point-to-points, and likely to be a forlorn hope on first run for a year.
Magicman Has failed to complete in four starts between the flags.
Netherhall Fit from recent outing on the flat but does not look good enough to feature here.
Romantic Native (IRE) Well beaten in two runs over hurdles so far and this is no easier.
Totally Scottish Very moderate flat performer and showed little signs of encouragement on hurdling debut.
Who Cares Wins Solid middle distance flat performer, although best form was on a fast surface. Tired badly on hurdles debut at Huntingdon but probably needed that and may be seen to better effect here.
Henna Dawn Well beaten in sole bumper run some time ago. Hurdles debut.
Saxon Queen Winning point-to-point horse but has shown little in two starts over hurdles so far.
Zedium Has failed to progress since finishing a promising third on bumper debut here, and faces a stiff task on hurdles debut.
Cosmic Buzz His flat form has steadily deteriorated in recent years and he was beaten a distance on his hurdling debut.
Maybe'n Very little form to boast either on the flat or over hurdles.
Koincidental (IRE) Maiden on the flat, rated only 47, and impossible to fancy on hurdles debut.
