In depth

Formwatch

Storyteller (IRE) Tough sort and fairly useful at best; may need the run.

Xanadu Fairly treated on old form but out of sorts at present.

Bodfari Pride (IRE) Should strip a lot fitter for his reappearance; claims.

Sharp Hat In cracking form having won two of last three starts on all-weather; the horse to beat.

Nifty Major From a yard to be respected but no real form this season

Bodfari Komaite Plenty to prove at this level.

Northern Svengali (IRE) From a leading Northern yard and ahould prove as fit as any.

Last Impression Lightly raced and open to improvement; goes well fresh.

Falcon Goa (IRE) Fairly useful juvenile who may just need the race.

Indian Music Tough individual who should be thereabouts at the finish.

Johayro Loves it around here and this course and distance winner cannot be ruled out.

Danakim Appears to have plenty on against this opposition.

Robin Hood Some ability last season, but not one to trust implicitly.

Clansinge Plenty of improvement required to feature in the finish.
