In depth

Formwatch

Zero Risk (IRE) Won his penultimate start over hurdles at this distance; place chances at these weights.

Pauntley Gofa Beat Wemyss Quest (who has won twice since) 5L at Market Rasen penultimate start. Ignoring his disappointing run on GF since must be thereabouts today.

Another Joker Well beaten on his debut in a maiden hurdle; others preferred.

Auk Has tried bumpers, hurdles and fences with little success.

Barton Bandit Well beaten in two hurdle starts, shorter trip today but others preferred.

Bonus Bridge (IRE) Two encouraging runs in bumpers on much softer ground. Likely to need the run after over seven months off; one to watch for the future.

Bouncinoffthewalls (IRE) Finished last in only bumper; best watched after lengthy absence on hurdle debut.

Cameron Bridge (IRE) BF on second bumper start in January, may appreciate better ground; market best watched.

Esendi Fourth at Uttoxeter but well beaten; others preferred.

Kadito Hurdle debut, but bumper form is very average.

Keep Smiling (IRE) Best watched on debut run for very in form yard.

Sir Alf PU on his only bumper start in April, something may have been amiss and market best watched today.

Sarasota (IRE) Best run when second on GF in May, has failed to reproduce anything encouraging since.
