In depth
Formwatch
April Spirit Convincing winner at Worcester but this looks a bit more difficult today.
Crawfordstowncross (IRE) Ex-Hunter Chaser who looks opposable on balance of form.
Got News For You Fell on only chasing start and would probably need it softer.
Polar Prospect Third on chasing debut and should be capable of winning here if transferring any of his hurdling ability.
Shahboor (USA) Fell on only chasing start but decent jockey on board today.
Rith Dubh (IRE) Able but beginning to look a bit difficult to win with at present.
