In depth
Formwatch
Familie Footsteps Every chance when fell at Uttoxeter latest. Back to back C&D wins here recently, but now carries a double penalty for these efforts; this may hinder his chances.
Toshiba Times Beaten 0.5L by Familie Footsteps off level weights over C&D. Won latest start (C&D), obviously goes well here and would be the one to beat today.
Young Lorcan Won here C&D last time; penultimate poor start explained through back injury; has to be a contender today.
Cusin Disappointing here last time finishing well behind Young Lorcan. Capable of better but inconsistency of flat runs makes him unreliable over hurdles.
Glen Parker (IRE) Nothing to recommend him to land the spoils today.
Jumbo's Flyer A maiden on the flat who makes his hurdling debut today.
Stamparland Hill Last run in March on soft ground and two previous starts on soft and heavy showed little promise; best watched on this better ground running fresh.
Allthewayfromtuam (IRE) Moderate form suggests a win is unlikely.
Sea Minstrel Runs alternately on the flat and over jumps, but without much success; others preferred.
