Formwatch
Titus Bramble Not without a chance on the best of his form but needs some cut in the ground to be seen at his best.
Mr Snaggle (IRE) On a long losing run and at the age of twelve he is unlikely to spring any surprises, best watched.
Ellamine Should handle the ground but he is not the most reliable of performers and cannot be relied upon to put his best foot forward.
Pekanese (IRE) Yet to catch the eye in his races over hurdles and is best watched.
Hobart Junction (IRE) Won a similar event at Newton Abbot back in June and should go well in similar conditions, one to consider.
Yaheska (IRE) Won at Hereford on her hurdling debut at Hereford earlier in the month, and is open to plenty of improvement. Another to consider.
Sailep (FR) A little to prove after failing to impress in his three outings this term and may be best watched for now.
Mill Orchid Claims on the best of his form, but his only win over hurdles came on soft ground at Market Rasen two years. Any rain would be a big help.
Russian Court Lightly raced for a five-year-old, but is unexposed and his trainers record here makes for some interest, a market move may be the best indicator to his chances today.
Maid To Love (IRE) Another who is open to improvement, and he may be able to reverse Hereford form with Yaheska on 2lb better terms. Connections make him an obvious choice for the short-list.
Bally Lir Lady In fair form at present and is entitled to respect in this grade however, she is yet to win a race and may have to wait for another day to alter that statistic.
Final Chance Hard to make a case for and is passed over.
Spilaw (FR) Has winning form on soft ground in France, but his overall profile leaves him with something to find.
Take A Turn Fitness has to be taken on trust after almost a year away from the track and does not really look good enough anyway.
Distinctly East (IRE) Improved efforts of late but he still has a little to find with a couple of these and cannot be relied upon to make the most of his pull in the weights with Maid To Love.
Premiere Foulee (FR) Long standing maiden on the flat and over Hurdles, others preferred.
Dancing Al Long absence and fast ground make him opposable here.
