In depth
Formwatch
Latalomne (USA) Has taken really well to fences, easily winning last two starts at Musselburgh, and every chance of landing the hat trick.
Board Walk (IRE) Well beaten in only run so far, in a bumper at Ayr
Bucks Gala (IRE) Very ordinary form, both over hurdles and fences.
City Hall (IRE) Useful hurdler a couple of years ago, but has failed to shine in three attempts over fences so far and does not look the force of old
Indian Wings (IRE) Point-to-point winner but has shown nothing in two tries under rules here
Jumbo Star Bits of form over fences but has run badly on last two attempts over fences.
Pealings (IRE) Formerly useful hurdler but not won for a long time and makes chasing debut here.
Scotmail Lad (IRE) Consistent level of form over fences and deserves a win. Third at Newcastle last time reads well, in first time blinkers, but unless anything happens to Latalomne he may have to settle for place money again.
Shermi (IRE) No form at all so far and will do well to get round.
Tall Tale (IRE) Remote third at Wetherby last month and pulled up only start since. Tall order.
Winsome Wallace (IRE) Beaten out of sight on first start for new stable, admittedly in a good race. May run into a place.
Merry Christmas Reasonable third here last season but pulled up twice since and outsider's chance at best.
Bankersdraft Chasing debut, failed to complete in two attempts over hurdles.
