In depth
Formwatch
Super Tactics (IRE) Not the force of old and has to concede weight all round here-a tough task.
Foly Pleasant (FR) A winner six times in France, may well have opened account in Britain but for making a hash of the final fence at Chepstow. One to consider.
Eskleybrook An absence of 425 days did not stop him winning at Kempton, and nor should this slight rise in class en-route to the Grand Annual at Cheltenham.
Amancio (USA) Last victory came in this event 12 months ago off a similar mark. Out of form since and hard to see a repeat.
Welsh March (IRE) Needs a good pace and has never won right-handed, but is in top form and cannot be discounted.
Wynbury Flyer Ex-Ferdy Murphy inmate, needs to come down in the weights.
Cool Spot (IRE) Beaten by Eskleybrook at Kempton and hard to see him turning tables on these terms.
Super Coin Triple course winner, caught the eye in the Misubishi Shogun Chase on first start for 434 days.
