In depth
Formwatch
Hirapour (IRE) Dropped a couple of pounds in the handicap and stable back in form.
Hambleden Narrowly beaten last time out but slight worries about pace in the race.
Browning Progressive this year and step up in trip should suit.
Three Lions Decent form at the back end of last season but not much to inspire here.
Gold Standard (IRE) Out of the handicap but by no means a forlorn hope.
