Won this last year; has failed to shine this season but perhaps the cheekpieces will help

Two-time course winner who ran well at Musselburgh last time and is not ruled out each-way

Has dropped down the weights but on this season's evidence he's hard to fancy
1	Mr Incredible Bay J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	168	—	2RP-B2	145	150	113	61d	—	—	—	23.8	—
Second in the Warwick Classic in January and this lightly raced 7yo may have more to offer
2	Annual Invictus Bay J:Mr Freddie Gordon(3) T:Chris Gordon	J:Mr Freddie Gordon(3) T:Chris Gordon	167	—	-P13P1	144	150	-	33d	—	—	—	36.7	—
Two hurdle wins this season but it remains to be seen whether chasing is still his game
3	Beauport Bay J:Mr Zac Baker T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Mr Zac Baker T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	166	—	14-124	143	146	126	74d	—	—	—	23.3	—
Well handicapped on best hurdle form and could be a contender if minimising the blunders
4	Farinet Grey J:Mr James King T:Venetia Williams	J:Mr James King T:Venetia Williams	165	—	5P-150	142	148	101	26d	—	—	—	23	—

Impressive over C&D in January and he's interesting now back here in a first-time visor
6	Dunboyne Bay J:Mr J J Codd T:Gordon Elliott	J:Mr J J Codd T:Gordon Elliott	164	p	66R1P2	141	144	104	49d	—	—	—	31.3	—
Short-headed in the Thyestes and open to further improvement for top trainer; on shortlist

Won three-runner handicap at Newbury latest but needs career best in this competitive race
8	Slipway Bay J:Miss Gina Andrews T:Ben Pauling	J:Miss Gina Andrews T:Ben Pauling	162	—	P51-19	139	151	118	40d	—	—	—	22.3	—
Won two in a row last year but needs to bounce back from disappointing run at Musselburgh

Patchy profile this season but placed in two good races; each-way contender if on song
10	Royal Thief Bay J:Mr J W Hendrick(5) T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Mr J W Hendrick(5) T:Henry De Bromhead	161	p	0/1B/1	138	153	84	60d	—	—	—	32	—
Returned from long absence for 10l win at Punchestown and could have more left in the tank
11	Lord Accord Bay J:Mr D G Lavery T:Neil Mulholland	J:Mr D G Lavery T:Neil Mulholland	160	tp	531296	137	151	133	47d	—	—	—	27.9	—
In fine form last autumn but below par the last twice; soft going would be a worry
12	Punitive Bay J:Mr J C Barry T:Gordon Elliott	J:Mr J C Barry T:Gordon Elliott	160	b	-22U10	137	146	98	49d	—	—	—	30.5	—
Better could have been expected in the Thyestes but progressive previously; not ruled out
14	Dr Kananga Bay J:Mr Darren Andrews(5) T:Ben Clarke	J:Mr Darren Andrews(5) T:Ben Clarke	158	t	12-207	135	142	104	26d	—	—	—	21.3	—
Not at his best this term but there are possible excuses; progressive last season
15	Stumptown Brown J:Mr B O'Neill T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Mr B O'Neill T:Gavin Cromwell	158	—	753711	135	153	122	28d	—	—	—	39.2	—
Comfortable wins the last twice and this thriving 6yo could still be ahead of the h'capper
16	Fontaine Collonges Bay J:Miss A B O'Connor T:Venetia Williams	J:Miss A B O'Connor T:Venetia Williams	158	—	41-140	135	148	103	26d	—	—	—	21.3	—
Good to soft may not have suited last time; big chance on late-2022 soft-ground runs
17	Musical Slave Bay J:Mr Derek O'Connor T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Mr Derek O'Connor T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	158	p	12-571	135	150	130	32d	—	—	—	21.3	—
Derek O'Connor a good booking; won at Exeter last month but suspicion he'll be vulnerable
18	Anightinlambourn Bay J:Mr Jack Andrews T:Ben Pauling	J:Mr Jack Andrews T:Ben Pauling	158	—	471121	135	147	110	124d	—	—	—	42.8	—
In fine form here in autumn; returns from a break; chase wins have all come on good ground
19	Emir Sacree Bay J:Mr Tommie M O'Brien T:Nicky Henderson	J:Mr Tommie M O'Brien T:Nicky Henderson	157	—	231-P3	134	151	114	40d	—	—	—	21	—
Encouraging 3rd at Sandown latest; could benefit from this return to a left-handed track
20	Western Zara Grey J:Mr T Power Roche(7) T:Paul Nolan	J:Mr T Power Roche(7) T:Paul Nolan	155	—	1-2530	132	152	100	79d	—	—	—	27.5	—
Improvement possible, but soundly beaten at Leopardstown latest and others more compelling
22	Angels Dawn Bay J:Mr P A King T:S Curling	J:Mr P A King T:S Curling	154	—	B8421U	131	147	103	25d	—	—	—	28.3	—
Novice who has been a progressive stayer this winter and could be a key contender
23	Ballykeel Bay J:Mr H C Swan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Mr H C Swan T:Gordon Elliott	152	—	433241	129	150	123	19d	—	—	—	33.8	—
Won Fairyhouse novice 3 weeks ago; only a 7yo and open to further improvement for top yard
25	Coo Star Sivola Bay J:Miss M O'Sullivan T:Venetia Williams	J:Miss M O'Sullivan T:Venetia Williams	142	—	02/505	119	149	88	22d	—	—	—	17.3	—
Very well treated on old form but has struggled since returning from layoff
26	Didero Vallis Bay J:Miss Lucy Turner T:Venetia Williams	J:Miss Lucy Turner T:Venetia Williams	142	b	-3U355	119	156	132	22d	—	—	—	18.9	—
Third in this last year but well beaten the last twice; needs to raise game in a big way
