In depth

Formwatch

Act In Time (IRE) He has won off a mark of 107 so his current mark of 100 says he has a chance today; trip and ground no problem although he doesn't normally race on circuits this tight.

Grizzly Bear (IRE) Has won off a mark of 102 and races off 99; trip and ground will be no problem; has an absence to overcome.

Fin Bec (FR) Raised 5 lbs for his Folkestone win; trip and ground no problem.

Hitchhiker Has been absent finishing lame at Newcastle 307 days ago; looked progressive before that; unproven on ground this soft.

Sammorello (IRE) Would have won over course and distance last time if he hadn't fallen, but that was nearly a year ago; trip and ground no problem.

Poor Economics (IRE) Irish import with no form of note.

Fortytwo Dee (IRE) Won a selling chase at Chepstow back in October; that seems about her level these days despite having run to higher marks the season before; probably OK at this trip on this track and acts on soft.

Absolutely Hopeful Six pounds out of the handicap here and the first-time blinkers would have to bring an improvement for him to feature.

Figawin Racing from 10 lbs out of the handicap doesn't augur well for his hopes here.
