In depth

Formwatch

Mouse Bird (IRE) Has a stiff weight to carry but enjoys this trip and track and beat the decent Grey Abbey recently; every chance under today's conditions.

Potentate (USA) In and out performer who used to be very smart over hurdles; live chance if back to his best.

Even Flow (IRE) Gutsy campaigner who rarely runs a bad race; possibly a little high in the weight but will give a good account of himself.

Verrazano Bridge (IRE) Looks the pick on form and weight and has a good favourite's chance as conditions suit today.

Nigello Trip is perfect for him but the ground may be a little too soft for him to show his best.

None Stirred (IRE) Jockey booking catches the eye but looks a little too high in the weights to get competitive here.

Copper Shell Decent sort who always tends to run well however trip looks beyond him in this competitive affair.

Miss O'Grady (IRE) Had the class to win a race at Cheltenham and must have a chance if reproducing anything like that form.

Master Satchmo (IRE) Has not really got the hang of fences yet and others preferred.

Rathgibbon (IRE) Excellent record at this track and will enjoy today's conditions; good jockey booking and must have good chance here.

Huis Clos II (FR) Likely to struggle in today's conditions.

Prate Box (IRE) Pulled up on last three starts but is well treated on old form; possibilities.
