In depth
Formwatch
Hatcham Boy (IRE) Useful chaser, who comes here fit after a recent win between the flags.
Life's Work Won well over 2m4f at Sandown last month; steps up in trip here and should stay.
Dat My Horse (IRE) Only moderate so far.
Gunner B Special Winning pointer, but out of his depth.
Muntafi Unlikely to take a hand in this company.
Music Therapy (IRE) Full-brother to Suny Bay, who has not raced under rules for 1081 days; onlyhad one recent start in a point-to-point since then and difficult to know how much ability he retans.
Old Archives (IRE) Only moderate; first start in almost a year.
Possible Pardon (NZ) Been kept busy in point-to-point races; fitness not a problem, lack of ability is.
Professor Strong (IRE) Form offers little sign of encouragement.
Rocky Balboa Only moderate, and has a long absence to overcome.
Sparkling Spring (IRE) Won a handicap chase here for Kim Bailey over 3m4f when last seen 501 days ago; chances if fit enough on debut for new connections.
Satcotino (IRE) Very inconsistent; unreliable.
Stalbridge Bill Course and distance winner; has a long absence to overcome.
Hotscent (IRE) Only moderate.
Pinoccio Pulled up in last two starts in points; difficult to fancy.
