In depth
Formwatch
Phar Less Hassle (IRE) Fortunate winner here in November, but still 5lb higher; stable not in great form.
Wynbury Flyer Is 10lb lower than when last successful, but has shown little this term.
Head For Heaven Well beaten in all starts this season; difficult to fancy.
Mouse Bird (IRE) Good second to Grand Gousier on reappearance; appeared not to stay three miles last time.
Elegant des Cosses (FR) Good winner at Newton Abbot in November; has yet to reproduce the form, and is yet to convince he handles ground this soft.
Private Percival Appears to face a stiff task on handicap debut.
Ilewin Janine (IRE) Won a Leicester selling hurdle off a mark of 80 last month; well treated on that evidence off a 5lb lower mark here on handicap chase debut.
