    In depth

    Formwatch

    Virtuoso Behind Selberry at Chepstow last time; has lost his way a little after winning some chases back in October; on his best hurdling form, he can't be left out of things; trip and ground no problem.

    Selberry Had Virtuoso just over twenty lengths behind him at Chepstow in January but is now virtually a stone worse off; comes here in good form; acts on heavy.

    It's Wallace Loves Plumpton and likes give in the ground; hasn't run yet this year, which is likely to count against him.

    Returning Stays 2m4f and likes give in the ground; is improving but would need to improve a little again on balance.

    Bella Macrae Beaten on heavy at Southwell last time; maybe testing conditions do not suit her ideally; has scope to progress but she hasn't progressed in the way it might have been hoped for from her win at Wincanton back in December.

    King of Mommur (IRE) Won a fair amateur riders' event last March over 2m3:5f at Exeter; best efforts have come when the ground has not been too testing; no show on reappearance.

    Pebble Moon Stays 2m6f and acts on heavy; hasn't run since Nov 9 last year.

    Vanishing Dancer (SWI) Reasonable level of juvenile form but, as he's only a four-year-old, that may count against him.

    Isam Top (FR) French import who is lightly-raced and should be open to some improvement

    Studio Thirty Little to recommend him in recent times.

    Fifth Generation (IRE) Maiden over hurdles who is unlikely to break that sequence here.
