Formwatch
Desert Fighter Veteran who is a prolific winner at this level; in good heart (won over C&D latest) and has excellent chance here despite 6lb penalty.
Filial (IRE) Makes little appeal at the weights.
Mithraic (IRE) Took this event twelve months ago but hard to fancy on these terms and returns from absence.
Most Stylish Lightly raced on the Flat but is a winner over hurdles; has been out of form over timber of late but should still offer the biggest danger to Desert Fighter.
Three Cherries Modest performer who is difficult to fancy here.
