'Not disgraced in 2m5f/3m Grade 1s the last twice; could go well if his jumping holds up.'

'Fourth at Cheltenham; had 17 races over fences and all bar one were at trips shy of 3m.'
'Finished behind some of these in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; would be a surprise winner.'
'2m5f looks more her trip and has to rate as a doubtful stayer over this far.'
'Improving 7yo chaser but over this extreme trip he may want better ground.'
'Kim Muir winner and Festival form has a habit of appearing on the winning CV.'
'Top-class chaser when the mud is flying and, granted his ground, he's on the shortlist.'

'It's been a rocky road these past two years but Naas last time was impressive; up 11lb.'

'Wants goodish conditions but ran well to be second in a soft-ground National Hunt Chase.'

'Classy novice who stays 3m and appears to want further; looks on a decent mark.'

'Unexposed chaser - especially as a stayer - and could shine now sent over further.'
Non-runner
'Twice placed over C&D so no stamina worries, but unlikely to be quite good enough.'
Non-runner
'C&D winner and the more rain overnight the better his chance.'

'Paddy Power winner at Christmas and there's a chance he'll stay this marathon trip.'
Non-runner
'Not lasted home in his previous handicaps at about 3m; has even further to go this time.'
Non-runner
'Beaten under 10l 12 months ago and his warm-up effort this time was encouraging.'
Non-runner
'Has been let down by his jumping the last twice, which hardly bodes well for this.'
Non-runner
'Seemingly improved when third in the 3m1f Bobbyjo here but the form looks dubious.'
Non-runner
'Capable on his day but will need to find greater fluency than he has the last twice.'
Non-runner
'Has been going nowhere for a while now and looks risky in new headgear.'
Non-runner
'Improving mare; likeable attitude, promises to stay this far and could go well.'
Non-runner
'Lost nothing in defeat at Cheltenham and a sound jumper who looks tailor-made for this.'
Non-runner
'Likeable 7yo who knows how to win but all his best form is over shorter distances.'
Non-runner
'Seems to have lost his way and was pulled up only last week.'
Non-runner
'His return to form at Leopardstown came out of the blue; far from a certain stayer.'
