In depth

Formwatch

Bob The Piler Won well enough last time but this will be much tougher; will be suited by this ground.

Deep Dale Not run well enough this season to suggest a good performance today.

In Contrast (IRE) Speedy horse and has been impressive recently; might not like the ground.

Jameson (IRE) Not not the ground to suit and may find a mudlark too many here.

Order Out of his depth although acts as though heavy ground may suit.

Punchy (IRE) Looks held by Joss Naylor on Chepstow and will need to improve bucket loads.

Redde (IRE) Won when not in total form last time and looks to be the one to be on today.

Strain The Rein Beaten when giving weight away last time and looks to be on the upgrade; one to note.

The Bajan Bandit (IRE) Could have gone hurdling according to his trainer but he has been kept for this and trainer is in form.

The Villager (IRE) Has run on soft but looked better on firmer ground last time; one to consider.

Worlaby Dale Looks a little too one pace to cope with some of these.

Zero Risk (IRE) 'A brilliant jumper' according to his trainer; no obstacles today and no real chance.

Best of The Girls (IRE) Done little wrong on the racecourse and will relish this surface; one for the shortlist.

Do It On Dani Consistent type but looks held by Best of The Girls.

Posh Pearl Unbeaten daughter of mud-lover Rakaposhi King; done nothing wrong this term and must have excellent chance.

Kaizen Did nothing wrong on only appearance this season and was being aimed at Cheltenham; market move will show his chances.

Sea Drifting Unbeaten on two soft ground appearances; must have great chance.

Irish Hussar (IRE) Will cope with the ground but may not have the class to cope with some of these.

Joss Naylor (IRE) Ran green last time out after winning an ordinary race at Chepstow; likely to find one or two too good.

Intersky Falcon Shaped well on debut; this half-brother to John Fernerley should put up a brave show but ground may not suit.
