In depth

Formwatch

Turkestan (FR) Carries 7lb penalty for a quick fire hat-trick of wins when he arrived at Martin pipes stable from France. Needs to conclusively prove he handles cut in the ground but is dangerous to dismiss in this company.

Barcelona Beat Maragun on his debut at Fontwell at the start of last month and should have learnt a lot from the outing. He stood plenty of racing on the flat and goes on any ground; one to consider.

Ibis Rochelais (FR) The form of his run behind Fondmort at Kempton last Christmas stands out and the fact that he has been patiently brought along since suggests connections think very highly of him. He goes well fresh and should not be left out of any betting plans.

Rainbows Aglitter Thought to be still a little imature by his trainer but he has done nothing wrong in his two outings so far. However, this a tougher assignment and his double penalty may find him out here.

Courtledge Pulled up behind Barcelona on his hurdling debut at Fontwell last month. Fared slightly better next time out but still needs to improve to figure here.

Do Me A Favour (IRE) Very lightly raced for a seven-year-old but he has been off the track since November 1999 and is best watched on his come back.

Felixrdotcom Picked up the bit late on on his debut on heavy ground here in February, open to any amount of improvement and could go well at a big price.

Gunnerbe Posh Pulled up on his hurdles bow at Market Rasen last month and is best watched for the time being.

Rear Guard Action Another with a bit to prove after a poor effort last time.

Inchinnan Handles cut in the ground but more will be known about her jumping ability post race.

Wellfranko (IRE) Best watched on first outing for his new stable.
