In depth
Formwatch
Hisar (IRE) Prolific Summer chaser but may be a bit vulnerable at these weights over hurdles.
Reggie Buck (USA) Unseated last time but should be good enough to win this contest.
Court Champagne Winner at Warwick in May but any softening in the ground would be against him.
Alexander Boyzone (IRE) Well beaten third in a Punchestown bumper; watch the market.
Mapleton Seems to have been sent over the hurdles as an after-thought.
Heathyards Tipple (IRE) Might find this grade a little hot.
