In depth

Formwatch

Artic Jack (FR) Going the right way and a step up in trip should suit; he's a big chasing type but if he handles the track he has to be considered here.

Cruise The Fairway (IRE) Disappointed last time over a longer trip; should go wll if back in top form.

Desert Captain (IRE) Good bumper horse; beaten over two miles last time, longer trip will suit.

Hand Inn Hand Well bred, won well on debut; more to do here.

Lucky Di (USA) Good flat horse at best, yet to prove he stays the trip; others preferred.

Rouble (IRE) His bumper form is comparable to Southern Star's and he is also entitled to improve for the step up in trip.

Southern Star (IRE) Is 8 lbs worse off with Cruise The Fairway for 2 lengths on their Cheltenham run on Dec 8 (2m1f,soft); however, that was his hurdling debut, he's improved since and may improve again for a step up in trip.
