NR	Mammies Boy Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Jonjo Oneill	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jonjo Oneill	169	—	823	101	100	-	32d	—	—	—	19.3	—	—
Has shown ability and could improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut
NR	Cant Beat History Chestnut J:TBC T:Henry Oliver	J: T:Henry Oliver	156	t	-27962	88	106	97	8d	—	—	—	15.5	—	—
Went close on last week's handicap debut at Doncaster; strong claims off same mark here
2	Bertie Wooster b/br J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	169	—	9-645	101	93	81	23d	—	—	—	12.8	—	—
Improvement needed on handicap debut but he's unexposed and is not discounted
3	Broomfields Cave Bay J:Danny McMenamin T:Neil Mulholland	J:Danny McMenamin T:Neil Mulholland	167	—	264803	99	103	95	9d	—	—	—	15.3	—	—
Third of 14 over C&D on recent handicap debut and that form reads well; solid contender
4	Ferdinand Star Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:David Pipe	J:Nick Scholfield T:David Pipe	167	tp	392790	99	103	86	14d	—	—	—	13.8	—	—
One to watch in the betting in first-time headgear but a major turnaround is needed
5	Lost History Bay J:James Davies T:Joe Ponting	J:James Davies T:Joe Ponting	166	t	/7/13-	98	-	-	620d	—	—	—	12	—	—
Won at Worcester in May 2021 but off since that June; perhaps best watched on stable debut
6	Stanley Pincombe Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	160	—	0-33OP	92	106	-	16d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Pulled up back over hurdles recently but he's on a reduced mark and is not written off
7	Coconut Twist Chestnut J:Harry Reed T:Brian Barr	J:Harry Reed T:Brian Barr	160	h	-73463	92	94	42	178d	—	—	—	14.4	—	—
Has shown some ability but needs to find improvement to score on this handicap debut
8	The Rain King Bay J:Fergus Gillard(3) T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Fergus Gillard(3) T:Alexandra Dunn	159	tb	/83P53	91	100	74	9d	—	—	—	13.4	—	—
Fair efforts here the last twice and he might not be far away
9	Professor Calculus Bay J:Tom Buckley(3) T:Nigel Hawke	J:Tom Buckley(3) T:Nigel Hawke	159	tv	-58471	91	103	96	9d	—	—	—	20.3	—	—
Made all by 6l in first-time visor over C&D recently and a 7lb penalty may not stop him
10	Phoenix Risen Chestnut J:David Prichard(5) T:Jeremy Scott	J:David Prichard(5) T:Jeremy Scott	157	p	766-0P	89	106	14	28d	—	—	—	9.8	—	—
Tailed off/pulled up in first two handicaps and cheekpieces need to make a huge difference
12	Moscow Spy Grey J:Conor Ring(3) T:Grace Harris	J:Conor Ring(3) T:Grace Harris	148	tp	066-48	80	104	60	19d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Yet to threaten in handicaps and has to raise his game in first-time headgear
13	Argus Bay J:Jamie Moore T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Jamie Moore T:Alexandra Dunn	146	t	/PP/07	78	-	33	54d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Having returned from a long absence, this 11yo has struggled on both runs this winter
14	Modreeney Chestnut J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	145	t	P06-F2	77	101	78	21d	—	—	—	6.8	—	—
Promising performances the last twice and he could have a part to play
15	Christopher Clive Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Claire Harris	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Claire Harris	142	t	89-6U9	74	95	56	24d	—	—	—	6	—	—
Well beaten at Fontwell last time and now 0-7; others make greater appeal
16	Freddie Fleetfoot Bay J:Elizabeth Gale(7) T:Carroll Gray	J:Elizabeth Gale(7) T:Carroll Gray	142	—	8-UP08	74	86	72	9d	—	—	—	6	—	—
Soundly beaten in mid-division on recent handicap debut over C&D (good)
