In depth

Formwatch

Get Real (IRE) Top-class two-mile chaser suited by a right-handed track; in good form at present and should make bold bid to give away a huge amount of weight.

Red Ark Fell in the John Hughes at Aintree last time but very capable at this distance; would appreciate faster ground but is getting plenty of weight from Get Real and is a live contender.

Bleu Superbe (FR) Not disgraced behind Road Racer last time and suited by today's testing conditions; one for the short-list

Mulkev Prince (IRE) Acts on today's ground but well beaten by Function Dream last time; chance but may find one too good today.

Extra Jack (FR) Highly tried recently but not likely to be suited by today's drop in trip; ability to handle the ground gives him an outside chance

Xaipete (IRE) Consistent performer but looks like stable's second string today and may not be up to winning this.

Saxtead Mill (IRE) Lightly-raced and not seen since finishing well beaten at Warwick in November; best watched today.

Gayles And Showers (IRE) Would appreciate a stiffer test of stamina and tough task today from so far out of the handicap.
