In depth
Formwatch
Kiltulaa Lad (IRE) Narrow Towcester novice winner last month; has something to find on latest effort behind Polar Prospect.
Polar Prospect Landed Towcester novice last month (carries 6lb penalty) but jumping is still a concern; others preferred.
Iris Collonges (FR) Useful over timber and may have needed first start over fences latest; lightly raced and open to further progress; respected.
Mersey Beat Decent hurdler who has shown fair level of form over fences but may need this outing after nine-months absence.
Moonshine Bay (IRE) Fair hurdler but showed signs of temperament when refusing to race on chasing bow last month.
Red Blazer Smart hurdler on his day but not so good over fences although fair 2nd here on return; drop in trip not certain to suit and looks vulnerable.
Miss Fara (FR) Useful dual purpose performer (won on Flat and over hurdles this year) who looks an exciting chasing prospect.
