In depth
Formwatch
Hotters (IRE) Showed the benefit of previous experience when impressive winner at Huntingdon last month; capable of further progress and can defy 7lb penalty here.
Alfa Sunrise Makes limited appeal on breeding.
Buckley Star Hinted at ability on Taunton debut last month but will need to show dramatic improvement to figure.
Celtic Justice (IRE) Has clearly had his problems and flopped on return last month; others preferred.
Gallop Rhythm (IRE) No show on poor previous effort.
Golden Crusader Only limited ability shown to date and returns after near nine-months absence.
Gotham (IRE) Newcomer by Gotham, any market confidence could prove significant.
Irish Native (IRE) Be My Native gelding out of once-raced maiden; stable does well in this type of event so market will provide further clues.
Jericho III (FR) French bred gelding by Lute Antique; from top yard and has to be feared on British debut.
Nick The Jewel Nicholas Bill gelding out of a modest hunter chase winner; others preferred on debut.
Palace (FR) Disappointing ex Irish performer who made no show on British debut last term.
Shade Lucky Debutant who looks likely to struggle at this level.
Supreme Native (IRE) Well regarded type who will have improved for narrow defeat at Taunton in April; stable going well and will be hard to beat.
Toss of A Coin No appeal.
Cullian Hard to fancy on debut.
Tyglyns Folly Unlikely to trouble the judge.
