In depth
Formwatch
Fatehalkhair (IRE) Decent chaser on his day and opposable off this mark over hurdles.
Terdad (USA) Definite ability when on a going day but too temperamental to back here with confidence.
Big Max Is capable of being ready first time out and any market move would be highly significant.
Rebel Son Might be good enough to defy 4lb rise up the handicap and interesting that Fitzgerald is booked again.
Swiftway Opposed on the evidence of recent racecourse efforts.
Plenty Courage Second to Barrelbio here last time out but that race looked a little soft to say the least.
Prodigal Son (IRE) Has won twice for this jockey in recent months and has an obvious fitness advantage.
Lobuche (IRE) Not out of it on the book but the trip has to be of grave concern.
