In depth
Formwatch
Pleasant Mount Moderate stayer who usually needs a race to come to hand; best watched here.
Rossel (USA) Off the course for a long time and never really proved that he stayed this trip in the past.
Jordan's Ridge (IRE) Ex-Irish; average handicap hurdler who is an interesting runner in this grade.
Hannah Park (IRE) Did not stay this trip on only attempt; looks stable third choice.
Haystacks (IRE) Consistent performer on the Flat but best will not be good enough.
Batoutoftheblue Won a similar race to this at Southwell last time and should go well in the ground; one for the shortlist.
Pennys From Heaven Geniune performer who is not without a chance on best of his form.
Cosmic Case Seemed to prefer good ground when last campaigned on the level but handled more testing conditions over the jumps; one to consider.
Special Promise (IRE) Has only tried this trip on one occasion before and did not stay; best avoided in this ground.
Papi Special (IRE) Ran some good races in defeat last season and will handle the ground; place possibilities
Ptah (IRE) Good jockey booking but looks up against it here.
