1	Huelgoat Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	164	t	111322	124	132	121	121d	—	—	+18	40.2	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Highly progressive earlier in the season and he's a key player now back from a break
2	Captain Quint Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Rose Dobbin	J:Craig Nichol T:Rose Dobbin	162	—	U33215	122	135	109	31d	—	—	+16	34.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
He could do with cutting out the mistakes but he's won twice over fences this season
5	Universal Folly Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Nicky Richards	J:Sean Quinlan T:Nicky Richards	156	—	4-2821	116	130	106	45d	—	—	+4	21.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Won off this mark over hurdles latest; jumping hasn't been totally convincing over fences
3	Fusain Grey J:Kevin Brogan T:Patrick Neville	J:Kevin Brogan T:Patrick Neville	162	tp	524113	122	138	115	11d	—	—	+22	38.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Easy wins on first two runs after wind op; tackled Grade 1 latest; could be on a good mark
6	Diamond State Bay J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	149	tp	314324	109	133	114	29d	—	—	+13	25.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Pretty consistent but probably fortunate when winning at Musselburgh; others preferred
4	Grey Skies Grey J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	157	—	2-7541	117	132	98	34d	—	—	+12	23.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
8l down when left alone at Sedgefield last time but there was still promise in that run
