Formwatch
Aliabad (IRE) Beaten out of sight here last time and impossible to fancy.
Dancing King (IRE) Fell over hurdles recently, well beaten all his latest attempts on the flat
Let Rip Well beaten in a couple of bumpers a year ago. Not raced since
London Lights Moderate hurdler, very poor form on the level
Mischief Second at a big price at Lingfield last month, but twice below par since. Should at least stay the trip
Pipe Music (IRE) Clear pick of the weights and would carry these home at his best, but was very disappointing at Southwell when favourite last time so not one to go overboard on.
Rake Hey Well beaten in two similar races here recently
River Boy (IRE) Has not run on the flat for some time, but had a recent spin at Wincanton. Only moderate though.
Top of The Charts Moderate hurdles form, tough task at the weights
Blowing Away (IRE) One or two pieces of form but is rated only 20 on official ratings. Hard to fancy.
Woodlands Energy Has been off the track for a long time, and was only very moderate previously
Northern Times (USA) Well beaten last two runs here
