Formwatch
Danteco Trainer Kate Milligan is still awaiting her first winner of the season; we fear the wait could be a little longer following today's action.
Glenstone Boy No ability on both starts to date; trainer Neville Bycroft hasn't sent out a winner for a long time.
Good Heart (IRE) Looked above average sort when successful in a Haydock bumper two seasons ago; cannot be dismissed.
Hard Lines (USA) Ex-Ian Balding on the flat who has displayed plenty of ability on both starts to date; major contender and biggest danger to Nowell House.
Lord Lambrini (IRE) Faced an impossible task when taking on the potentially top class Europa last time; interesting outsider.
Nowell House Fairly useful performer on the flat who looke a fine prospect when runner-up on hurdling bow; should win.
Royal Arrow (USA) Only average on flat, some ability on both starts over hurdles to date but plenty to prove at this level.
Toshiba Times Should strip fitter for hurdling debut but plenty to find on the book.
Golden Groove (USA) Hails from the John Norton stable that made a dream start when Squandamania won last week; this horse shouldn't enjoy the same luck on the balance of form.
Lewinsky Trained by Alan Swinbank who recently took over the stables formerly occupied by the now-retired Bill Haigh; watch the market closely.
Anticles (FR) From the Ian Williams stable that boasts a near-40% strike-rate at the course; yard won last year's renewal; one to respect.
Pur Tresor (FR) Ex-French import who was facing an impossible task against the useful Tysou (winner of a much better race next time) on his British debut at Catterick; will do better in due course.
