In depth
Formwatch
Abbot Looks the type to be suited by hurdling but has been off the track for a while and is bested watched today; rated 74 on the Flat.
Bushie Bill Another who should make a decent sort in time but could struggle today against some more forward types.
Four Eagles (USA) Best performance on the level was finishing five lengths behind Foreign Affairs at Salisbury in June; should be ready for this outing and could run a big race.
Glorious Welcome Not rated very highly on the Flat and best watched on this occasion.
Jalons Star (IRE) The most experienced in the field who should run well but probably will not be good enough here.
Leatherback (IRE) Seemed to improve all season on the Flat last season and looks the type who will do well over hurdles; very much one to consider.
Lunardi (IRE) Good effort in Ireland recently should have put him spot on here; looks the one to beat.
Parisian Inferno (IRE) Not a likely type on breeding and best watched here.
Ribbon of Light Poor maiden on the Flat but with shrewd trainer and should go well here; market support would be significant.
Saorsie Stayed up to a mile on the Flat and was fairly consistent; chance if taking to the obstacles.
Trump Appeal Well beaten in three maidens on the Flat and is easily passed over here.
Sabresong Pulled up only appearance on the racecourse and hard to see him winning here.
Wee Nel Rated 44 on the Flat and unlikely to be good enough here.
