Formwatch
Tarxien Has found a new lease of life since being switched to Martin Pipe's, and this course and distance winner looks set for the hatrick.
Ennel Boy (IRE) Made all to win last time out but this looks tougher, and others are preferred.
Bendor Mark Needs to improve on all known form to take a hand here.
Castle Arrow (IRE) Was pulled up in a chase last time out and he looks to slow for hurdles.
Condoyle (IRE) Is consistent but slow and he is readily passed over.
First Tenor (IRE) Has failed to complete in two chases this season, and he needs to improve on all known to take a hand.
Paddy The Driver (IRE) Is a hard puller, and he may be better over a shorter trip, others preferred.
Italian Rose He has only one race on the flat, and he has only shown a modicum of ability over hurdles, others preferred.
Indoux (FR) Showed a modicum of promise on his debut this season but he still needs to improve to win.
Bittern Has shown no ability and he is readily passed over.
