Formwatch
Pension Fund Has been running over longer trips of late and has never won here; mind you, he's only recently taken up the AW as an option; it's not a strong race so could run well.
Risky Reef Visored for the first time today; goes well here and gained his only win to date here on Jan 8; only 5 lbs higher than for that win; has to be considered.
Treasure Touch (IRE) A winner over course and distance; 5 lbs higher than for his November win; the downside is an absence to overcome.
El Dolor (IRE) Lightly-raced and long absence to overcome.
Rififi Has taken a drop in the weights but hasn't won since Dec 1998; has won on Lingfield's AW but not here.
Denbrae (IRE) Winning form is at 6/7f, including here; hasn't raced much over the last 18 months; has a good rider but does need to step up to win this.
Franklin-D What form he has is around this mark and he also has an absence to overcome.
Bottelino Joe (IRE) Yet to make the frame; modest form.
Komaseph He's on a losing sequence and you can't build a strong case for it ending today.
Averham Star Well out of the handicap and has an absence to overcome.
