Classy in his prime but a major turnaround is needed on this second run for his new yard
2	Hill Sixteen Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Sandy Thomson	J:Craig Nichol T:Sandy Thomson	164	t	42U-37	143	154	141	112d	—	—	—	23.3	—
Has run well on both visits to Kelso and he's one to consider on first run since wind op
3	Elvis Mail Grey J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	159	t	-1633U	138	151	140	10d	—	—	—	26.1	—
Third in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster in January and each-way claims if back on song
4	Big River Bay J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	156	tp	43-7P3	135	154	82	69d	—	—	—	21.3	—
Eight-time course winner who has dropped down the weights, but has to raise his game
5	Bavington Bob Brown J:Ross Chapman T:Ann Hamilton	J:Ross Chapman T:Ann Hamilton	154	p	-682PP	133	152	60	7d	—	—	—	20.8	—
Pulled up the last twice but perhaps the blinkers didn't suit; cheekpieces go on today
6	Doyen Breed Chestnut J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	152	p	2F-7P2	131	156	135	36d	—	—	—	20.3	—
Well treated on last season's exploits and encouraging return to form last time
7	Mighty Thunder Bay J:Patrick Wadge(5) T:Lucinda Russell	J:Patrick Wadge(5) T:Lucinda Russell	148	tp	-0PF76	127	151	119	28d	—	—	—	19.3	—
More than a hint of spark in the Eider and his mark continues to fall; interesting
8	Forward Plan Brown J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Anthony Honeyball	146	t	221211	125	155	135	19d	—	—	—	42.3	—
Had plenty in hand last time and a 10lb rise may not stop this progressive 7yo
9	Clonguile Way Bay J:Peter Kavanagh(5) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Peter Kavanagh(5) T:John C Mcconnell	146	—	150524	125	149	108	34d	—	—	—	22.3	—
Creditable efforts the last twice but a rise in the weights doesn't aid his cause
10	Half Shot Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Iain Jardine	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Iain Jardine	142	—	411322	121	152	133	21d	—	—	—	32.8	—
