In depth
Formwatch
Virtuoso Needs to show some of the form he was in earlier in the season to take a hand here.
Dulas Bay Going is a slight doubt but this gelding is in cracking form and should go well.
New Era (IRE) Looks to be on the upgrade but has jumped up the weights and may struggle today.
Mighty Strong Seems a little too high in the weights for dwhat he has achieved; respected trainer with good record here.
Foxies Lad Would probably like further than this but have been boosted by his last win and could spring a surprise.
Soloism Fairly consistent type butone or two may have an edge today.
Tashreef Stays this trip and in good heart but has yet to show that heavy is his surface.
Sandoran Good hurdler last season but yet to show he has taken to fences; others preferred here.
Spinofski Half brother to Party Politics who is best left alone on racecourse form shown so far.
Channahrlie (IRE) Looks to be improving but may struggle to get competitive on this surface.
Iron N Gold Acts on the ground but looks held by Dulas Bay.
Gotha (FR) Effective on the ground but is a little to inconsistent to be taken seriously here.
Augusta Brook (IRE) Out of his depth today.
