In depth
Formwatch
Blue Blazer Big drop in grade for previous course winner who could be good enough in a desperate contest.
Bearys Cross (IRE) Won this race last year in similar conditions and could go well again despite having shown little in recent outings.
Oneanthreequarters (IRE) Fairly consistent in this grade over the years and has a chance if on a going day.
Luckashan (IRE) Chasing bow but has shown a little form in moderate hurdles and could improve for the change of scene.
Polkerris ten year old maiden; unlikely to be getting better with age.
Dellone Good second to Arctictaldi in better grade last time and looks to have an outstanding chance at the weights; sure to run well.
Hum 'n' Haw (IRE) Very poor performer; hard to enthuse over.
One Word (IRE) Won a better race in similar conditions last time out and must be respected.
Yquem (IRE) Failed to complete last twice and impossible to fancy.
Foxbow (IRE) Pulled up three of last four starts and has little chance here.
Andre Laval (IRE) Very slow veteran best on fast ground; very little hope here.
Raka King fell last time after running well for a long way and is an outsider with more chance than most.
Dress Dance (IRE) Poor selling chaser with little to recommend him.
Luscombe Pulled up last three starts and looks to have too many problems to be seriously considered.
Caddy's First One run in two years and it wasn't a good one; look elsewhere.
Pride of Pennker (IRE) Winning form is on fast ground a long time ago; this is a world apart.
