In depth
Formwatch
Chevalier Errant (IRE) Consistent sort who will probably act on the ground; good second to Island Mist last time and must have a great chance.
Abalvino (FR) Fairly useful novice chaser but looks a little out of his depth.
Halexy (FR) Not sure to be suited by this surface but is from a respected stable in this sort of event and can not be discounted.
Special Agenda (IRE) Modest chaser who looks a little outclassed today.
Turgeonev (FR) Suited by track and trip and looks to be improving; jumps well and could go well here.
Hancock Has not shown the ability so far to suggest he will be good enough today.
Maori Chief (IRE) Pulled up on last three appearances and looks one not to trust too deeply.
Another Question (USA) Shouldn't be good enough to play a major role.
Delayed (FR) Others preferred.
Gigolo Gerry (IRE) Good efforts when runner up in two novice events and could take all the beating today if handling the ground.
