        Formwatch

        Abbey Flyer Bit of an unknown quantity but it will be hard to see him winning after such a long lay off.

        Dancing Laird Two decent efforts to date but more improvement is needed to play a leading role here.

        Far Bridge (IRE) Well beaten last time out at Worcester and best of old form does not look good enough.

        Fluff 'n' Puff Step up in trip should suit but overall level of form does not look good enough to take this tricky-looking event.

        Hachty Boy (FR) Generally consistent and best form is on soft ground at around this distance; one to consider for in-form stable.

        Mestre Sala (FR) Has yet to recapture his form of a couple of years ago but should appreciate this step up in trip and has a decent outsider's chance.

        Pembroke Square (IRE) Top class hurdler a couple of years ago; tough chase debut here but opposition is not brilliant.

        Prokofiev (USA) Good performance to win at Newcastle at the backend of last season before struggling at Aintree; fair chance if taking to the larger obstacles.

        Scarlet Pimpernel Soundly beaten last time out but had previously been running well; excellent chance if translating hurdle form to fences.

        Wortley Boy Generally consistent over hurdles but improvement needed on chase debut to stand any sort of chance here.
