In depth
Formwatch
Benbyas Showed promise on hurdles bow and with only a liitle improvement would have a leading chance today.
Cosmic Buzz One-time fair flat handicapper who if taking to the winter game could be interesting; market will provide best guide to his chance here.
Dontbesobold (IRE) No show on sole hurdles outing and hard to fancy.
Hypersonic Nothing to write home about on only outing and should be better for the experience.
Lorenzino (IRE) Well bred ex-Irish maiden handicapper who has shown glimmers of ability and wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to figure here on his hurdles debut.
Max The Man Not sighted in two outings and unlikely to buck the trend here.
Ocean Tide Poor maiden on flat and only glimpses of ability in two outings over timber; others make more appeal.
The Castigator Poor sort on the level and doesn't look any better in two attempts over hurdles; readily passed over.
Tuition From a yard that is capable of readying horses for these type of events and was running well when falling last time out; capable of giving a good account if jumping round.
Sadler's Song Runner-up on hurdles debut before finishing down the field in a hot race at Newcastle latest; still, that form reads well in this company and he is entitled to take the beating against this easier opposition.
