In depth
Formwatch
The Staggery Boy (IRE) Carrying a penalty for his win at Navan in June; first run for new connections.
Esendi Has a lot to prove having pulled up on his only start over hurdles.
Hard To Start (IRE) Bumper winner and some good placed form; providing he can jump is one for the short list.
Passing Shadow (IRE) Well beaten in an NHF at Aintree last November; best watched on hurdles debut.
Phar From A Fiddle (IRE) Second in his last two starts over hurdles, looks to be progressive; should go close.
Rainbow Dance (IRE) Second at Perth on his debut run for new connections, having won a bumper in Ireland penultimate start; must be considered.
Tapping Tam (IRE) Pulled Up in both Hurdle starts; limited appeal.
This One Is A Boy (IRE) Pulled Up on debut hurdles start; others preferred.
Sally Lightfoot Third at Huntingdon last time. Prefers a faster surface; cannot be ignored
