3	Hewick Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Rachael Blackmore T:John Joseph Hanlon	160	p	-21U1F	168	176	110	43d	—	—	+12	50.8	0.38/1	6/4 40%
Won the 3m5f chase last year; big run in the Gold Cup before falling; trip will be fine.
5	Solo Bay J:Bryony Frost T:Paul Nicholls	J:Bryony Frost T:Paul Nicholls	159	t	7-1221	149	161	126	63d	—	—	+12	30	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Something to find on figures but he's been in career-best form and is dangerously fresh.
1	Eldorado Allen Grey J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	162	t	224575	156	169	155	14d	—	—	+18	31.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has the form to feature and dropping back in trip with no cheekpieces may help.
7	Fantastic Lady Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	153	—	3U-102	145	167	151	15d	—	—	+16	26.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Career-best form when second in the Topham last time but this company demands more again.
4	Mcfabulous Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	159	p	-P112P	153	164	120	77d	—	—	+30	37.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Won two of his five runs over fences and had excuses for his three defeats.
2	First Flow Bay J:David Bass T:Kim Bailey	J:David Bass T:Kim Bailey	162	—	613-3F	158	167	129	70d	—	—	+22	28.9	2.50/1	11 9%
11yo now and, with doubts over his stamina and current form, he's not easily recommended.
NR	Black Gerry Bay J:TBC T:Gary Moore	J: T:Gary Moore	156	—	11PP11	142	155	126	19d	—	—	+37	42.1	3.75/1	16 6%
In form but has plenty more on his plate on this graduation from handicaps.
