In depth
Formwatch
It's All Good Fun (IRE) Not one to be trusted and is still a maiden after nearly 15 starts; one to avoid here.
Mr Fitz (IRE) Ran best race of career last time at Huntingdon but has not really shown solid enough form to be backed seriously.
Red Card if you back this lightly raced maiden.
Fountain Bank (IRE) Should act on the ground but is trying a trip which looks on the excessive side for what he has shown so far.
Absolutely Hopeful Has been mainly campaigned over fences this term and ran well enough on his return to hurdles last time to give him an outsider's chance.
Goodtimelady (IRE) Has gone up a whopping 13 lbs for a victory in a seller last time and although well regarded by new connections the weight hike looks a little steep.
Morning Alf Will love the conditions but is basically a poorish maiden at best and is best avoided here.
Cedar Chief Would appreciate any drying of the ground but has generally been disappointing of late.
Glacial River (IRE) Can go well fresh but is unproven over this trip and going.
The Ten Amigos (IRE) No real form over fences and hurdles; has changed stable lately and that is his only plus.
Rhapsody In Blue (IRE) Returning from long absence and unproven on ground, trip and track.
Hardy Breeze (IRE) Is something of a course specialist and may have the necessary guile to take this weak event.
Miraggio Not one to trust.
