        In depth

        Formwatch

        Redouble Placed several times last season and still reasonably treated. Still a maiden, though.

        Zorro Won first time out at Windsor last year but has shown little since then. Readily opposable.

        Sadlers Swing (USA) Handicap debut but has shown nothing suggest he might be capable of winning this.

        Kildare Chiller (IRE) Ex-Irish with winning form over hurdles this winter. One to watch out for.

        Rayik Tends to save his best for the all-weather and makes limited appeal in this.

        Polish Falcon (IRE) Only two turf runs have come on bottomless ground so could improve on this better surface and not one to rule out in this weak affair.

        Dr Cool Arguably best over this trip and quite lightly raced but doesn't really seem good enough on his form to date.

        Titus Bramble Winning hurdler this winter and fair plater on the level last season. Better chance than most.

        Leila Most unlikely to play a leading role in this.

        Westminster City (USA) Better form on all-weather but ran quite well on heavy ground at Folkestone last time and this step up in trip could see him go close.

        Single Currency Formerly with Paul Cole but very modest form over hurdles this winter and seems to be deteriorating.

        Dulzie On a hat-trick after two recent all-weather wins. Relatively unexposed on turf and could be very well handicapped.

        Dion Dee Little showing since allowed to dictate slow pace before finishing second at Folkestone last summer. Unlikely to repeat that here.

        St George's Boy Very hard to fancy on majority of form available.

        Yalail (IRE) Evidence suggests this horse looks extremely moderate.

        Millennium Bug Third at 100/1 behind useful April Stock earlier this week. If that was not a fluke, a reproduction would give her a real chance in this easier contest.

        Able Pete Reasonably consistent all-weather performer but has shown virtually nothing on turf.
