In depth

Formwatch

Mister Benjamin (IRE) Put up a pretty impressive performance on his fencing bow at Doncaster and sure to prove hard to beat if running up to that form here.

Sam Quale (IRE) Hasn't progressed since scoring by a distance at Southwell in the autumn; the break might have done him good but he looks to have his work cut out today.

Royal Reward (IRE) Moderate hurdler making his fencing debut after more than ten months off the course; hard to fancy.

Time After Thyne Was in the process of running a fair race when blundering 5 out last time; only a modest performer but may be the one for the forecast.
