11	Hiway One O Three Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	143	—	43122-	110	142	124	22d	—	—	+15	35.6	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Neck second upped to a stayer's trip latest; remains in form, but maybe a bit more needed.
3	Latitude Bay J:Alex Edwards T:Mel Rowley	J:Alex Edwards T:Mel Rowley	163	—	/3321-	130	141	115	39d	—	—	+25	40.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Value for more than a 6lb rise for Ludlow win latest (3m, good to soft); major player.
1	Danny Kirwan Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	169	p	1/22F-	136	138	110	72d	—	—	+19	32.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Second in this last year, and Ascot second next time was better form again; chance.
2	Good Boy Bobby Bay J:Daryl Jacob T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Daryl Jacob T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	168	—	74P04-	135	141	103	28d	—	—	+14	23.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Has become well handicapped, and better than bare form latest; no trip/ground issues.
10	Duc De Beauchene Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	155	tb	92321-	122	140	123	15d	—	—	+28	36.9	2.25/1	10 10%
Still on a good mark despite an 11lb rise for Wincanton win latest; may not want a dryout.
6	Dorking Lad Bay J:Niall Houlihan(3) T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan(3) T:Gary Moore	160	p	31UBP-	127	141	118	17d	—	—	+16	22.5	3.25/1	14 7%
Never looked happy in the Topham latest; others have more demonstrable form over 3m.
4	Sporting John b/br J:Aidan Coleman T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Aidan Coleman T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	163	—	P05P4-	130	139	115	21d	—	—	+15	21.7	3.75/1	16 6%
Mostly well out of sorts during 2022-23 campaign, including dropped to Class 3 latest.
12	Twenty Twenty Bay J:Caoilin Quinn(5) T:Gary Moore	J:Caoilin Quinn(5) T:Gary Moore	142	v	421/3-	109	140	114	364d	—	—	+14	19.4	3.25/1	14 7%
Third in a thinner renewal of this in 2022 (just behind Danny Kirwan), and absent since.
7	Movethechains Bay J:Jamie Moore T:Gary Moore	J:Jamie Moore T:Gary Moore	159	—	1/52P-	126	141	127	51d	—	—	+21	27.7	2.75/1	12 8%
4-5 at Lingfield versus 0-7 elsewhere; soft ground hard to blame at Sandown latest.
8	Up The Straight Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Richard Rowe	J:Brendan Powell T:Richard Rowe	158	—	/2PP7-	125	141	123	59d	—	—	+16	19.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Sandown novices' handicap chase scorer a year ago; out of form latterly (hurdles latest).
5	Forgot To Ask Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Tom George	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Tom George	160	tp	1325P-	127	137	99	152d	—	—	+20	24.4	4.75/1	20 5%
Below par last autumn but proven fresh, and a sound surface would be appreciated.
9	Kap Auteuil Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Toby Lawes	J:Harry Bannister T:Toby Lawes	158	—	PP2PP-	125	142	116	42d	—	—	+16	19.8	6.00/1	25 4%
11lb below last winning chase mark; jumping issues in that sphere most recently.
