In depth
Formwatch
Cross The Suir (IRE) Not recaptured the form of a few months ago in recent outings and could struggle here.
Navarre Samson (FR) Disappointed last time when stepped down in trip; will appreciate this step up, yet to race on ground softer than good but looks the one to oppose the favourite with.
Circle of Magic Looks out of his depth here and others preferred despite trainer's record at this track.
Edwarda Formerly very smart hurdler; disappointed over fences and returned to hurdles with solid effort at Worcester; will take all the beating if staying this trip.
Miss Tango Stepping up in trip but has solid form at shorter; McCoy likes this one so will probably start favourite.
Caernarfon Bay (IRE) Faces a tough test after long absence and looks outclassed as well.
Frosty Carol Faces difficult task on debut.
Impetuosity (IRE) Campaigned exclusively at this distance but looks a little out of his depth.
