In depth

Formwatch

Bacchus Wouldn't be ideally suited by the heavy ground and isn't the most straightforward of rides so doesn't appeal as a betting proposition in apprentices event.

Chief Wardance Ran really well behind Bawsian at Doncaster last month and can be expected to go well again; question mark against his ability to handle really heavy ground is only doubt.

Wilemmgeo Won six times last term including here on similar ground; has to reverse Musselburgh form with Ace Of Trumps.

Ballistic Boy Maiden who has not been out since finishing well behind winner on hurdles debut last summer.

Comex Flyer (IRE) Well treated on maiden handicap success at Catterick last summer but has been well below par since.

Edifice (JPN) Form tailed off last season; faces stiff task.

Texannie Has shown nothing on recent efforts.

Khuchn (IRE) Ran as if something amiss on final start last term and no encouragement on all-weather return.

Ace of Trumps Real mudlark who won off 5lb lower mark at Musselburgh last term; will improve for return at same venue and has bright prospects here.

Ratified In winning form on soft ground last season but no encouragement on latest efforts.

Smarter Charter Won this race last year off 5lb higher mark and ran well on return; best form on better ground but handles soft/heavy.

Jimgareen (IRE) Has finished stone last on previous four outings.

Invisible Force (IRE) Inconsistent type who is now 6lb higher than when scoring at Carlisle last term; returns from lengthy absence.

Mels Baby (IRE) Very lightly raced nowadays and can't be fancied on return after absence.

Protocol (IRE) Won over this C/D last August and is 2lb higher; handles any ground but below par of late.

Susan's Dowry Won a soft ground maiden here as a 2-y-o and has been in excellent for on all-weather of late; well treated on return to turf.

Kuuipo Out of form and faces stiff task.

Able Millenium (IRE) Still a maiden and has been disappointing of late; others preferred.

Gold Kriek No worthwhile form to show from three starts last term.
