In depth
Formwatch
Ionian Spring (IRE) Lightly raced and showed improvement for step up to this trip latest; races off same mark here so has obvious claims.
Robandela (USA) Will be suited by return to this trip after failing to stay latest; 8lb higher than previous C/D win.
Billaddie Has had his problems and is best watched after lengthy absence.
Mister McGoldrick Won a maiden on Flat but form tailed off and has run poorly over hurdles; makes all-weather debut.
Angies Quest Frustrating maiden who flopped latest; looks up against it here.
Special Promise (IRE) In good form this time last season but has struggled to recapture form; others preferred.
Wilemmgeo Has had limitation exposed on this surface of late; finished well behind Ionian Spring latest and no better off at weights.
Bachelors Pad Has place claims at very best but has been disappointing of late.
