Formwatch
Jackson's Hole Former prolific point-to-point winner who put up a decent effort last time after a long lay off; should go well if his jumping holds up.
Key Debate Has been chasing and looked outpaced on hurdles debut last time; might improve for that run but looks held by Jackson's Hole.
Baltic Fleet Relatively lightly raced and looked to be going the right way when third to Nairn in December; not seen out since then and might need this run but can go well when fresh.
Dun Distinctly (IRE) Lightly raced over hurdles and looks a little high in the weights; place possibilities.
Ballybough Rasher (IRE) Has shown little ability on three starts so far; one to avoid.
Red Rampage Showed up well for a long time last time out and should be in the shake up today.
Mudlark Poor Flat performer who has not really taken to hurdling; others have a better chance.
Barton Nic Some promise in bumpers but has failed to translate that into decent hurdle form.
Whatashot Consistent gelding who will finish nearer to first than last but might not have the stamina to win this.
Tikopia Capable Flat performer who has so far not managed to make his mark over hurdles.
Black Ice Boy (IRE) Tough task from outside the handicap.
Supreme Breeze (IRE) Out and out stayer who has struggled in recent outings in handicaps; needs a strong pace otherwise he is only moderate at best.
Chief Chippie Front running maiden hurdler who should not be good enough here.
Strong King (IRE) Might struggle on his handicap debut from out of the weights.
