In depth
Formwatch
Adventino Looked badly in need of the race when in the midfield on Huntingdon debut last month; needs to improve to feature.
Beachtime Son of Lugana Beach who makes debut; looks to have plenty on his plate.
Brockton Mist (IRE) Son of Mister Lord who should appreciate further in time.
Dizzy Lad (IRE) Pulled up in sole point-to-point last year; lots of improving to do.
Major Adams Never at races when down the field at Haydock on debut in February; should do better in staying chases.
Redskin Raider (IRE) Likeable son of Commanche Run who looks worth a second glance in the market.
The Smuggler (IRE) Rare runner over jumps for Ralph Beckett; interesting.
Zaffamore (IRE) Commendable seventh at Huntingdon on debut; stable knows the price of fish in this type of event; should improve.
Velvet Sword A little ability in two races to date but needs to find improvement.
Carlton Rode Plenty of improvement required but stable to be respected.
