In depth

Formwatch

The Butterwick Kid Cracking effort to chase Ryalux home at Wetherby last month; solid claims on that evidence.

King's Whisper (IRE) Has first outing for new connections having landed a novices' hurdle at Fakenham last time; giant of a horse who should run well.

Shagreen (IRE) Formerly trained by John Dunlop; not one to dismiss yet.

Reflex Courier (IRE) Goes well fresh so lack of a recent outing shouldn't pose a problem; stable out of form however.

Fools Errand (IRE) Off for nearly three months and not one to trust implicitly.

Hoh Tel (IRE) Almost certainly better than the bare recent form suggests; one to note in the market.

Ivory Coaster (NZ) Not the most fluent of jumpers but hails from a stable in cracking form.

Cherry Dee Well treated on best form but has yet to deliver the goods this season.

Bright Destiny Has been showing very little recently to suggest he can take a hand.

Gus Berry (IRE) Form of his win over the course and distance is working out well; won on this same card last year and could once again spring a surprise.

Finnure (IRE) Pulled up on both starts this season; hard to fancy from 8lb wrong in the weights.

Master Club Royal Dropped in grade following a visit to Haydock; dark horse.
