In depth
Formwatch
Conwy Castle Won a Brighton maiden last term and has done well hurdling this term; plenty of weight though and looks to have a tough task.
Inching Closer Got up close home at Newbury last time under a powerful ride and might be a tough mount for an amateur.
Montecristo Fair performer in this grade and scored last time out on the all-weather; this is a tougher task and others make more appeal.
Batswing Poor effort last time but is a very capable performer on his day; any cut in the ground would be a big help.
Atacat (IRE) Looks outclassed.
Bright Hope (IRE) Very lightly raced and looks sure to benefit from the outing after a long absence.
Minivet Out of touch at present and talented rider will have to be at her very best to figure here.
Mindanao Chance on best form and will be well suited by today's step up in trip;each-way claims.
Sweet Reward Looks a little too high in the weights and has something to find on balance of form shown.
Scheming Poor run last time but has a squeak on previous effort.
Makarim (IRE) Goes well for today's rider and comes into the race in good heart; solid claims.
Inver Gold Yet to prove he stays today's trip and stable have been through a quiet spell of late.
You da Man (IRE) Has fallen to an attractive mark and will improve for the return to this trip; one for the short-list.
Westgate Run Nothing to recommend her in recent outings and is hard to fancy.
Miss Fara (FR) Fair hurdler and will feel on holiday with today's weight, but still has something to find if she is to get into the argument.
Golden Chance (IRE) Nothing to recommend him of late; impossible to fancy.
Rutland Chantry (USA) Good effort last time and could manage to find the frame at a fair price.
Rare Talent Goes well for an amateur and has hinted at a return to form in recent outings; worth considering.
Adjawar (IRE) Impressive scorer last time and could eb a blot on the handicap under top lady rider; sure to take all the beating.
Hugs Dancer (FR) Game effort at Newcastle last week and if in the same mood could figure again.
Hibernate (IRE) Front-runner just caught at Hamilton last time but unlikely to last home in this company.
Exalted (IRE) Knocking on the door in recent runs and likely to put up another good show, although would be a surprise winner.
