Highly tried last twice and 3m1f too far last time; has a big run in him if back in sync.
7	Hudson De Grugy Bay J:Jamie Moore T:Gary Moore	J:Jamie Moore T:Gary Moore	158	v	-42731	126	141	119	49d	—	—	+20	37.8	0.88/1	7/2 22%
C&D winner last time and more to offer as a chaser, with Thursday's rain a help.
1	Cap Du Mathan Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	168	t	231122	136	144	129	42d	—	—	+28	43	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Perhaps a tad over-handicapped and this trip on a stiff track might just stretch him.
9	Mumbo Jumbo Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	152	t	4-2342	120	141	132	30d	—	—	+8	21.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Still to win under rules but plenty of his form reads well; a bit unlucky last time.
8	Gloire Dathon Bay J:Aidan Coleman T:Sarah Humphrey	J:Aidan Coleman T:Sarah Humphrey	157	ht	-21112	125	138	119	75d	—	—	+31	43.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
It could be that the handicapper has caught up and this is his first time in a Class 2.
3	Quinta Do Mar Bay J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	165	p	-51P41	133	139	120	62d	—	—	+26	35.7	2.00/1	9 11%
Beat small field at Fontwell latest; there should be some mileage in this 4lb higher mark.
2	Quel Destin Chestnut J:Bryony Frost T:Paul Nicholls	J:Bryony Frost T:Paul Nicholls	167	p	/3P132	135	141	121	49d	—	—	+27	36	2.25/1	10 10%
Closely matched with Hudson De Grugy on their bobbing finish over C&D last month.
6	Fable Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	160	—	P-2P13	128	136	92	62d	—	—	+15	21.4	2.75/1	12 8%
Due a good run here if her seasonal pattern continues and her mark isn't bad.
5	Honneur Dajonc Bay J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	161	—	57421P	129	143	120	35d	—	—	+22	30	3.25/1	14 7%
Disappointing at Newbury but was looking progressive prior to that.
