In depth

Formwatch

Balisteros (FR) Has a chance on his best form but others preferred.

Bells Life (IRE) Won this last year and successful in John Hughes in 1998. Lack of recent outing a worry.

Brook Bee Looks out of his depth here.

Calleva Star (IRE) Must improve on all known form to take a hand here.

Colonel Blazer Won on his debut this season and he could be a lively outsider.

Conti d'Estruval (FR) His best form is on fast ground and he must improve to win this.

Desert Calm (IRE) Best form is over this trip but he looks to have no chance here.

Dynamic Lord (IRE) Has only won moderate races and others are preferred.

Fandango de Chassy (FR) Goes well with cut in the ground and he may run well at a big price if he gets round.

Finnow Thyne (IRE) Ran well at a this meeting last year but he is to inconsistent to fancy here.

Gunner Welburn Probably had not recovered from Haydock exertions when beaten at Fontwell. A big danger.

Hawaiian Sam (IRE) Is out of form and is readily passed over.

Howayman Was third in this race last year and he could go well if in the same mood.

Manhattan Rainbow (IRE) Was well behind Gunner Wellburn last time out and a similar story looks likely.

Mr Snowman Connections have had this race in mind for some time. In form and jumps superbly. A rising star

Pats Cross (IRE) Is getting on in years and others are preferred.

Prince of Saints (IRE) Looks to have no hope here.

Red Spectacle (IRE) Must improve on all known form to win this.

River Unshion (IRE) His best form is over this trip but he must improve on this seasons form to take a hand here.

Ruperts Choice (IRE) Has won only minor points and this is a lot harder; others are preferred.

Secret Bay Last year's runner-up has done nothing wrong lately but meets one or two up-and-coming rivals.

Sparkling Spring (IRE) Ran well after a long break last time out but he will have to improve again to win this.

Springfield Rex Won a novice hunter chase at this course last year but he will need to be at the top of his game to take a hand here.

Spring Saint His best form is on testing ground and he looks on the down grade; others preferred.

Starpath (NZ) Is in good form over longer trips and he will be staying on at the end when others have cried enough.

Stormy Session Needs to improve on all known form to take a hand here.

Tuska Ridge (IRE) Looks outclassed here.

Some Go West (IRE) His best form is over 2m4f but he will have to improve to win this.

Winsford Hill His best form is on fast ground and he needs to improve on the best of that form to take a hand here.
