In depth
Formwatch
Karowna Has run very respectably in much higher class races at Galway recently; was a distance winner in April but on soft ground; from a good yard and this drop in company makes her one to seriously consider.
Little Flora Has campaigned well over the summer (C&D winner in July); conditions are in her favour and she should go close.
Onefourseven Second last time out to Little Flora here (beaten 15l); looks to be consistent and may have place chances.
Romany Move Last ran here September 2000 when eighth to Garruth; best watched.
The Hazel Harrier (IRE) Has shown very moderate form; others preferred.
Just Good Friends (IRE) Pulled up behind Little Flora last time; hard to fancy on hurdle or flat form.
Karajan (IRE) Ahead of Little Flora last time when second to Atlantic Charter at Perth; consistent form and has regular pilot aboard here; serious place chances.
Millions Lacks solid form and obviously a bit cheeky; would need to improve to win today, although his last few runs suggest that he is going the right way.
Solway Donal (IRE) Unimpressive on only run for new trainer (previously with Jonjo O' Neill) at Cartmel last time; others preferred.
Strawberry Hill (IRE) Appears to be trainer Andy Scott's second string in this race; has only has three starts in point-to-points and disappointed when strongly fancied; best watched.
