In depth
Formwatch
Horton Dancer Winner here over course and distance but penalised as a result.
The Staggery Boy (IRE) Won a hurdle on disqualification in Ireland; possibilities in a weak race.
Colombe d'Or Well beaten third in a Uttoxeter Novice last time out.
Cut The Deck Very disappointing last week in a National Hunt Flat race; money would be significant.
Edifice (JPN) Well held by Horton Dancer and Love Kiss on their last meeting.
El Blade Dancing Blade gelding; owned by a tipping line so watch the market.
Into Battle Fairly solid form without winning but might be best watched after a long absence.
Lazy But Lively (IRE) Seems better suited by a softer surface.
Love Kiss (IRE) Second to Horton Dancer last time out and better in at the weights today.
Sofisio Fifth in a decent Aintree heat; could be a bit of value.
Torrid Kentavr (USA) Decent flat convert; second to Caxton Star latest; Fitzgerald booked so cannot be written off.
Amber Go Go Plenty to find on all known form.
Live'n'learnlass Probably had a few too many chances to break the duck here.
Twin Pleasures Opposed after more than two years on the sidelines
