In depth
Formwatch
I Wish You Love Tailed off last time but has clearly been laid out for this; won this same race last season and can run well again
Final Lap Not in the best of nick on the AW but boasts some ability folowing a win in a claimer at Newmarket last autumn
Fuero Real (FR) Very hard to fancy even at this lowly level
Glendale Ridge (IRE) From a stable that is capable of getting his horses right on the day and could be a dark horse
Joli Flyers Loved soft ground on the flat who looks a leading protagonist judged on some of his form over timber
Rajati (USA) Loves the mud and a decent run is expected under the Hennessy Gold Cup-winning pilot
Sir Perse Hard to fancy after failing to complete the course on both starts over hurdles
Pertemps Cindrella Not particularly well in at these weights but is normally thereabouts
Sandy Ground (FR) Successful over hurdles in France but yet to deliver here;dropped in class after running in a better race at Kempton
Sylphide still a maiden who will find it hard to win, even at this poor grade
Lilardo Lightly raced sort from a stable that appears to be hitting form
Saone Et Loire (FR) French import trained by Martin Pipe who could easily be good enough
Brooksie Disappointing at Towcester last time but has claims judged on his win here last month
