In depth
Formwatch
Arawak Prince (IRE) Versatile sort who boasts winning form both on the flat and over hurdles; interesting on Southwell bow.
Pickens (USA) Eight-times course winner; stays well and rarely runs a poor race; very good prospects.
Old Feathers (IRE) Not an easy horse to catch right; highly tried over hurdles recently.
Sharvie Consistent sort although has not won many. Stays the trip and if he gets a decent pace he will not be far away.
Wrangel (FR) Hurdles winner who should come on for recent effort behind Silver Socks, but not certain to stay this trip on the level.
Genuine John (IRE) Moderate but game sort, but best over shorter trips and failed to stay on latest outing.
Steamroller Stanly Well behind Pickens on latest start last month. No obvious reason why he should reverse the form.
Castletown Count Recent handicap chase winner at Catterick. All-weather debut from a stable that has done really well this winter; dark horse and the market might be a clue to his chance.
Vantage Point Won a similar race at Wolverhampton in December, but three poor efforts since then and not one to trust implicitly
Black Weasel (IRE) Well beaten third behind Sharvie on latest start and these revised weights do noy really favour him enough to revers the form.
Royal Plum Bumper winner but form on this surface is very poor so far.
Bratby (IRE) Form over last couple of years gives him little chance.
Three Cherries Untried over this trip but would need to show significant improvement to feature here.
