In depth

Formwatch

Phar Less Hassle (IRE) Goes well here; if he can convert hurdles form to fences then then he has a shout.

Caradoc Ran well over course and distance last time; that was a step in the right direction but more still needed.

Coole'sabbot (IRE) First-time blinkers will have to bring a good bit of improvement.

Houghton Bay (IRE) Officially rated the best of these; didn't jump well on debut but this is a more realistic level.

Irish Option (IRE) Some promise in novice chases but balance of form says that he still nees to improve again.

Maidstone Monarch (IRE) Modest level of form in chases thus far.

Private Percival Little show and lightly-raced in recent years.

Red Hot Indian (IRE) Didn’t jump well on chasing debut; fair hurdling form but needs to improve jumping to play a hand.
