In depth
Formwatch
Dolphinelle (IRE) Little show thus far.
Lumaca (IRE) Not enough shown to suggest he can play a part here.
More Tears (IRE) Two falls thus far do not augur well for his chances here.
Peerless Motion (IRE) Promising seasonal reappearance at Wincanton on Jan 11 (2m,good to soft/soft) and is entitled to improve on that.
Red Morocco (USA) Showed some ability in Irish bumpers but made no show on hurdling debut 16 days ago.
Sense of Duty (IRE) Makes hurdling debut after no show in two bumpers.
Shy Paddy (IRE) Long absence and can't be fancied here.
Thyne Will Tell (IRE) Has the ability to win a race of this nature; has Cheltenham entries
Wortley Boy A modicum of promise thus far but needs to step up further today.
Young Archie (IRE) Back in trip here and from one of the top trainer/jockey combinations; very lightly-raced eight-year-old.
Purple Lace Has a big absence to overcome and best watched today.
Seasonal Won on soft ground on the flat in France but has offered up little in the way of encouragement over hurdles in Britain.
Doukash (FR) From the Pipe/McCoy stable, holds Cheltenham entries and this is not a particularly strong race.
Good Friday (IRE) She showed promise on her first run over hurdles and holds place prospects on the basis of that.
