In depth
Formwatch
Red Cafe (IRE) Course and distance winner who has been running well of late. Good chance from the top of the weights.
Be Warned Has preferred this slightly longer distance these days and always puts in an effort.
Skiffle Man Average Hurdler at best; lost by 56 lengths on his last appearance on the flat.
Claudius Tertius Poor hurdler who is probably best looked over on this occasion.
Vale of Leven (IRE) Loser in some very ordinary races recently and stamina doubts still exist.
Game Tufty Generally consistent but rarely wins; place chances at best.
French Master (IRE) Chances due to the quality of opposition, the fall in the handicap and the aid of a good claimer.
Caldiz Had shown a modicum of ability until disappointing last time out; Unlikely to be fighting out the finish.
Sandros Boy Not guaranteed to stay and is of little interest as a betting proposition.
Notation (IRE) Sometimes front runner who flatters to deceive almost every time.
