In depth
Formwatch
Nosam Recorded his 11th win last time at Listowel off top weight. Was third to Platonic-my-eye at Stratford penultimate start; sound claims today.
Mumuqa (IRE) A winner back in 1999, fitted with blinkers last time here, but little impression made.
Gayles And Showers (IRE) All his wins have come on softer ground, but goes on a better surface; campaigned really well last season; cannot be ignored today.
Forest Dante (IRE) Has not run since January when falling at Musselburgh; might find it a bit far today.
The Major (NZ) A good horse in his day, but that was some time ago. Pulling up last time at Market Rasen suggests he has not revived his form.
Kings Cherry (IRE) Needs to get his confidence back over fences before he can think about winning.
Royal Event Won at Wincanton back in November, but more recent form is uninspiring.
Gulshan Won at Perth back in May. Disappointing over 3m after this; chances today.
