In depth
Formwatch
Far Glen (IRE) Ran out of steam over shorter here last time and hard to fancy.
Gilfoot Breeze (IRE) Maiden on the Flat and over jumps; absence to overcome as well.
Vert Espere Step up in trip paid off at Worcester in June; goes well fresh and sure to make a bold bid.
Moonlite Magic (IRE) One paced sort but should be there or thereabouts judged on recent efforts.
Java Sea Stable in form; might need the run though.
Lunar Maxwell Needed the outing here last time; even this trip is a bit short though.
Tapping Tam (IRE) Ran best race last time at Uttoxeter and has scope to improve.
St Lawrence (CAN) Only raced three times over timber and long absence to overcome.
Atlantic Drift (IRE) Will be well adrift at the finish.
Syrah Shown nothing so far and another who has been off for some time.
Absolutely Hopeful Pulled up last two runs; big improvement needed even to be placed.
Bernini's Quest (IRE) The rank outsider; can be safely ruled out.
