In depth
Formwatch
At The Double By Sure Blade out of an Ardross mare; hard to fully assess but the bloodlines warrant a second look
Bak On Board Stamina is probably going to be more his forte; little show in two bumper efforts so far
Cinnamon Line Dam had ability but stable is noted more for chasers
Dead-Eyed Dick (IRE) By a stallion who has had his successes this year; stable usually buys with an eye to the future and the market might prove the best guide
Fine And Dandy (IRE) Bred to be a chaser and many of Trevor Hemmings' horses are bought with that in mind; from Henrietta Knight's yard so cannot be discounted
Glanamana (IRE) Third on only run, at Kempton 54 days ago; should benefit from that and run well
Hanover Square Finished a long way behind El Viejo at Sandown on only run so far; showed promise there and is sure to improve for the experience but he does have ground to make up on El Viejo; being by Le Moss out of a Deep Run mare, you'd expect him to improve for time and distance
Johnlegood Finished seven lengths in front of Nile Princess on their Kempton run on Feb 24; more needed here but he should improve with that run behind him
Misty Ridge (IRE) Hasn't run since unpromising bumper effort in Dec 1999
Steve The Fish (IRE) Trainer and owner have had some good times over the years although the last couple of years have been fairly quiet; may well need this
Temple Dog (IRE) By Un Desperado out of a King's Lake mare so warrants a second look; not a forlorn possibility
Flora Poste Venetia Williams always warrants respect in races like this; watch for any market moves
Leith Hill Star Fourth in a Folkestone bumper on debut; more likely to be required here
Queens House Beaten in points and can't be seriously considered here
El Viejo (IRE) Likely to go off favourite based on his debut third in a decent bumper at Sandown on March 10; related to a couple of chasing winners so shouldn't lack for stamina
General Well beaten at Fontwell on debut; certainly some evidence of ability on her dam's side but she would need to step up a lot on her debut run
Shake Eddie Shake (IRE) Not atall badly bred and cannot be passed over without some thought
Nile Princess Improved from her debut run but has seven lengths to find with Johnlegood on that effort; her dam is a winning pointer; she should continue to progress
