In depth

Formwatch

Function Dream (IRE) Far from harshly treated off just a 4lb higher mark than when beating an out of sorts Flagship Uberalles in the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury; has ground to suit and should make a bold bid to win sixth race on the bounce, although trip may be further than ideal.

Grey Shot Overcame a lengthy absence from the track to win at Ascot two months ago; trip and ground ideal, but up 10lb and the "bounce" factor is a worry.

Addington Boy (IRE) The Grand National fifth has not been seen since chasing home Commanche Court in the Irish National in May; needs further than this, which will give the 13-year-old a good blow out before Aintree.

Super Coin Although running well behind Flying Instructor at Haydock last month, is better suited by two milesrather than this trip and may be outstayed.

Satchmo (IRE) Unexposed recruit from the hunter chase ranks; impressive winner at Kempton off 121 last time, but has been raised 14lb for that.

In The Blood (IRE) Has the soft ground that he needs to show his best, but is becoming unreliable.

Tullymurry Toff (IRE) Still has ability judged by 1l second to Streamstown at Wetherby in January, but has failed to reproduce the form since, and is not completely trustworthy.

Mr Markham (IRE) Has yet to fully convince over fences, and makes his handicap debut here off a mark of 133, which looks plenty high enough for what he has achieved.

Foly Pleasant (FR) French import, who is yet to open his account since joining Henrietta Knight; placed on all starts for current connections, and should be thereabouts again.

Just Jasmine Genuine handicapper, but appears to be out of her depth here.
