In depth
Formwatch
Bob Ar Aghaidh (IRE) Stable does well with limited recourses and more will be become apparent about the ability of this one post race.
Cool Roxy Hard to assess his chance until the benefit of a run is in the book, best watched.
Crack On Dandy (IRE) Owned by his trainer and is sure to come on for the run but best watched at present.
El Viejo (IRE) He has the benefit of a recent run and could pit his experience to good use.
Golden Rambler (IRE) Respectable effort at Southwell last month and is one of the more likely winners on the form available so far.
Gunpowder Square (IRE) Dropped away tamely on his only run so far and is best watched here.
Hear My Song (IRE) Eye-catching pedigree and a market move would be a significant factor.
Iceberge (IRE) Trainer has a modest strike-rate with this type of runner and is best watched at present.
King's Champion (IRE) Another who it may pay to regard with an eye to the future.
King's Reign (IRE) Stable has a fine record in these events and is another to bear in mind if the market speaks in his favour.
Lord of The North (IRE) Best watched at present.
Lucky Lucky Bob (USA) Hard to make a case for until more is known post race. Best left alone
Mr Fluffy Failed to build on the promise of his debut run at Newcastle when last seen on the course. However, he is open to improvement and is another for the list if supported.
Orchestra's Boy (IRE) Improved on his debut last time but has a little to prove after a long lay off.
Return The Call (IRE) Stable has enjoyed a terrific start to the winter campaign and have enjoyed successes with in this type of race with some very promising types over the years. Another for the list.
Shipley Mill Best watched on his debut.
Sovereign Gold Similar profile to his stablemate and is yet another who is best watched.
The Noble Moor (IRE) More will become apparent after a race that may best viewed with the minimum of financial interest involved.
