In depth
Formwatch
Image de Marque II (FR) Has shown nothing on his last three starts and is best avoided until showing he is returning to his old form.
Intox III (FR) Generally consistent gelding who is the clear form pick and should have no trouble from being the leading Martin Pipe runner.
Versicium (FR) Can run some solid races but will need to improve on previous efforts to land this Pipe-ender!
Dr Jazz (NZ) Has yet to recapture form of two years ago and although capable may struggle in this company.
Baclama (FR) Dropping down in trip from his victory last time out but likely to be up in the firing line without taking the honours.
Ettrick (NZ) Excellent chance if reproducing run at Worcester last month; slightly disappointing last time out over slightly further but should go close here.
Honey Trader Steady enough but does not look good enough to challenge the horses with better form.
Chop-Chop (IRE) Chance if reproducing his best form (over this course and distance); slightly disappointing last time out but solid each-way claims.
