Didn't run too badly at Fakenham where a wide trip was no help.
1	Beat The Bat Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	161	—	2	-	123	92	61d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Finished 10l ahead of Choccabloc when short-headed on good to soft at Wincanton.
2	Cawthorne Banker Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo Oneill	J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo Oneill	161	—	232	-	117	108	27d	—	—	—	9.6	—	—
Unlikely to be far away once more but looks vulnerable to something with a bit more zip.
3	Choccabloc Bay J:Sean O'Briain(10) T:Nicky Henderson	J:Sean O'Briain(10) T:Nicky Henderson	161	—	3	-	114	80	61d	—	—	—	3	—	—
10l to find with Beat The Bat on Wincanton form but could improve lots on that form.
5	Hay Up Harry Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Sophie Leech	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Sophie Leech	161	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Brother to two maidens; dam 2m4f-2m6f hurdle winner; stable 0-8 in bumpers recent seasons.
6	Home Free Bay J:Bridget Andrews T:Dan Skelton	J:Bridget Andrews T:Dan Skelton	161	—	2	-	115	102	60d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Got outpaced before staying on behind a Nicholls newcomer at Wetherby.
7	Idefix De Ciergues b/br J:Paul O'Brien T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Paul O'Brien T:Rebecca Curtis	161	—	2-28	-	117	87	60d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Struggled on soft last time but not ruled out should goodish ground be key to him.
8	Kruger Park Chestnut J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	161	—	3	-	116	75	66d	—	—	—	3	—	—
Beaten just over 5l at Hereford (soft) and the first two haven't disgraced that form.
9	Le Bon Vivant Chestnut J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	161	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
60,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; brother to French 2m1f hurdle winner Law Of Attraction.
10	Muskoka Bay J:Jack Wildman(7) T:Emma Lavelle	J:Jack Wildman(7) T:Emma Lavelle	161	—	7	-	97	-	46d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Only 8-1 at Doncaster (good to soft) and yet never really emerged from mid-division.
11	Old Beginnings Bay J:Liam Harrison(3) T:Fergal Obrien	J:Liam Harrison(3) T:Fergal Obrien	161	t	2	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	5	—	—
£60,000 purchase not long after finishing second in a 3m point in Ireland.
12	Starvidov Grey J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	161	—	5	-	73	-	46d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Probably unwise to read too much into his remote finish on heavy ground at Exeter.
13	Cosmore Bay J:Mr Frederick Procter(5) T:Harriet Brown	J:Mr Frederick Procter(5) T:Harriet Brown	154	h	8	-	81	30	13d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Pulled hard and finished tailed off on good ground at Exeter 13 days ago when 80-1 chance.
14	Gypsy Hill Bay J:Miss Heidi Stevens(7) T:Victor Dartnall	J:Miss Heidi Stevens(7) T:Victor Dartnall	154	h	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Hooded for debut and amateur rider was 0-10 under rules before today
15	Sweet Saffron Brown J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	154	—	8	-	59	-	22d	—	—	—	0	—	—
150-1 for her debut here and was in rear throughout.
