In depth
Formwatch
Imaginative Has raced only on good ground and those efforts have not been startling; won last time out but more improvement needed.
Sullys Hope Has been steadily improving over hurdles; warmed up for this with run here 12 days ago and should go well for Champion Jockey.
Sheskinqueen (IRE) Improved effort in defeat last time out at Worcester following win at same course; has the ability to win this and could go well at decent price.
Achilles Wings (USA) Has lost his way since running well at Exeter earlier this year; fit from the Flat and has the ability to run well.
Irish Cream (IRE) Best form is on heavy ground and although he is tough and consistent may lack the raw ability to land this tricky affair.
Fashion Victim Has been tried over further but this seems like his best trip; excellent effort last time out and should be spot on today.
Divulge (USA) Came slowly to hand last season and will probably need this run; one to watch later in the season.
Kates Son (IRE) Best watched until showing some signs of ability.
Oo Ee Be Has some of the best form in the race and if in-form trainer can produce this one after such a long gap then he this gelding must have an excellent chance.
Pythagoras Well beaten last time in possibly unsuitable soft ground; had previously run well at Worcester and has a good outsider's chance here.
Sparkling Lass Tends to need a run to come to hand and is best watched here especially over unsuitably short trip.
Yaheska (IRE) Did not beat much when winning at Hereford earlier this year and has disappointed since; best avoided.
Dolly Dove Overall level of form does not look good enough to score here.
Cerock Thrown in on old form but has struggled to finish on last few appearances; suited by a soft surface and can run well fresh.
Beeches Girl Generally consistent but handicapper has been unfair on her; should not be able to win off this mark.
Just Anything (NZ) Signs of ability two years ago but has shown little of late and is quickly passed over in this event.
