In depth
Formwatch
Kuwait Millennium Joined the Martin Pipe set-up last year after a fruitless three-year-old campaign for Henry Cecil. He has taken well to hurdles and is one for the list.
Dolphinelle (IRE) Ran well over course and distance recently but is yet to score over timber and looks to have a little to find with the topweight.
Hoh No Moderate stayer on the flat and is yet to shine over hurdles, best watched.
Half The Pot (IRE) Looks to need a test of stamina and may be better over further.
Adjiram (IRE) Moderate form to date and best left alone here.
Sunburnt Questioned to answer if the ground is riding soft and others preferred on balance.
Russian Court Open to improvement but looks to have place prospects at best.
Arctic Spirit Another who looks better suited to a firmer surface but is not without a chance if he handles the ground.
No Mercy Modest form over hurdles to date and best watched.
Just Anything (NZ) Pulled up on his reappearance at Folkestone last week and look held on the best of his form anyway.
Palace Guard Another who is best watched after a long absence.
