In depth
Formwatch
Spring Margot (FR) Has been in excellent form lately in well contested races and looks sure to be a leading contender today; however, he may just find this trip too far.
Tyneandthyneagain Very consistent performer against good opposition; appreciates today's ground and should get this trip so should be hard to beat.
Venture To Fly (IRE) Has no trouble getting this trip and should make a bold bid today; however, looks set to make a better chaser.
Hussard Collonges (FR) Scored comfortably at Wetherby on hurdles debut and worth a try in this company today; one for the short-list.
Prince Highlight (IRE) Winner at Haydock last time but this looks a tougher race and trainer is out of form at present.
Indian Wings (IRE) Given impossible test at Aintree last time and this looks another stiff task.
Ollar House (IRE) Pulled up on hurdles debut and is in need of a considerably weaker race than this.
Pessimistic Dick Better over the larger obstacles and difficult to be too optimistic over his chances today.
Pure Steel (IRE) No encouragement in previous races and looks out of his depth today.
River of Gold (IRE) Put up a decent effort on hurdles debut but this is much tougher and unlikely to be good enough.
Artic Jack (FR) Winner at Haydock but did not seem to get the trip last time and races over further today; best form may be seen over fences in the future.
Kerry Lads (IRE) Well beaten by Spring Margot last time and likely to suffer the same fate again.
