In depth
Formwatch
Old Hush Wing (IRE) Classy performer to be racing at this level; may find ground on fast side; booking of Tony McCoy a bonus.
Northern Union (CAN) Reported to have been his best horse over jumps according to former trainer Michael Jarvis; time may be running out but we cannot give up on him yet.
Sail On Sid Disappointing type that has plenty to prove at this level.
Northern Accord Good winner of a Hexham seller 12 days ago but more required here.
Innes Highly regarded by connections two seasons ago; long lay off to overcome but an interesting prospect for the Placepot backer.
Ballygobackwards (IRE) Still a maiden following 19 races; sequence very unlikely to change.
Commanche Fox (IRE) Lightly raced maiden who will have needed to start yesterday to have any chance.
Radanpour (IRE) Mixed hurdling with chasing on recent starts; little to find on official ratings and another Placepot possible at least.
Leap In The Dark (IRE) Chasing first win since October 1997; cross him out.
Millennium Pearl Tiny bits of ability in a light career to date but not up to this company.
Romany General No signs of ability on two starts to date.
Baltic Oak (IRE) Little show on a couple of starts.
Flying High (IRE) From the same yard as the smart Kingsmark who we feel could make into a Grand National prospect; not of the same ability as stable companion.
High Ranger Disappointing type who has a mountain to climb.
Mist of Silver Former Nick Littmoden inmate who has been fairly highly tried; interesting outsider.
Passing Danger (FR) Irish import who is hard to catch right.
Prince Tor Front-running tearaway who should come back to the chasers early.
Faustnluce Lady Old woman whose legs appear a little slow for this field.
