In depth
Formwatch
Arizona Bold Has been struggling over a variety of distances and would probably prefer further; difficult to fancy in this race.
Dunsdon (IRE) Has been struggling in points and it would be a surprise to see him figuring on Rules debut.
Mandalay Man (IRE) No signs of ability under Rules so far and best overlooked today.
Tom's Man Has not shown any form over these obstacles and unlikely to be the man today.
Whitegates Prince Pulled up on Chase debut and will do well to finish today.
Mumbai Poor hurdler making Chase debut and unlikely to be any better over the larger obstacles.
Twinnings Grove (IRE) Has shown only modest form over fences so far but that could be good enough to be a leading contender here.
Hunters Creek (IRE) Showed decent form in two National Hunt flat races in Ireland and is sure to have been well schooled by trainer for Chase debut; looks a leading contender today.
Lucky Brush (IRE) Point-to-point form in Ireland suggests may good enough on Rules debut in this poor company.
