In depth

Formwatch

Flaxley Wood Good effort last outing at Cheltenham behind decent Young Spartacus; sure to give another good account of himself despite topweight.

Heidi III (FR) Best performance so far when landing Great Yorkshire Chase last time and is on the upgrade; likely to go close once again.

A Piece of Cake (IRE) Won slowly run novices event over course and distance last time, but has a little to find on balance of form.

Tom Brodie Has gone off the boil of late and likely to find a few too good once again.

Lannkaran (IRE) In and out performer who has plenty of ability and has been given a chance by the handicapper today; good each-way claims.

High Mood Won well at Newbury in November but hasn't progressed since and others make more appeal.

Gayles And Showers (IRE) Seems to win every other race but hard to see the sequence being maintained today.

Nosam Hasn't won for a while and is another to be on a fair handicap mark if back to his best; market may provide a few clues.
