Both hurdles wins came here; point winner last month; interesting on chasing debut
5	Ex Selance Bay J:Thomas Dowson T:Victor Thompson	J:Thomas Dowson T:Victor Thompson	153	p	1P212-	85	105	81	12d	—	—	+14	29.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
In fine form, second here last month; should be in the thick of things once more

Better with each run in 2023, fourth over C&D last time; has to be considered
1	Without Conviction Bay J:Patrick Wadge(5) T:Lucinda Russell	J:Patrick Wadge(5) T:Lucinda Russell	170	t	P6341-	102	110	92	57d	—	—	+15	27.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Better than ever when scoring decisively at Ayr in March under Patrick Wadge; big player

Goes well here and wasn't beaten far when eighth at Kelso last time; high on the list
4	Event Of Sivola Chestnut J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	161	v	55353-	93	107	93	12d	—	—	+6	18.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D third in April; holds no secrets from the handicapper but likely to be thereabouts
8	Robert Dores Grey J:Jonathon Bewley(3) T:George Bewley	J:Jonathon Bewley(3) T:George Bewley	147	t	P1798-	79	-	-	37d	—	—	+3	12.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Well held in three hurdles but is a point winner and makes chase debut off modest mark
NR	Skyhill Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Alison Hamilton	J:Sean Quinlan T:Alison Hamilton	166	t	11451-	98	109	91	22d	—	—	+9	34.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Won in the mud at Sedgefield in April; may struggle for pace unless there's plenty of rain

Disappointing since Wetherby win in January and needs to rediscover his spark
11	Abouttimeyoutoldme Chestnut J:Danny McMenamin T:Paul Robson	J:Danny McMenamin T:Paul Robson	142	—	P9/6P-	74	-	-	360d	—	—	+4	6.9	9.75/1	40 3%
Unplaced all 13 hurdling starts for the Whillanses; needs big step forward on chase debut
10	Lastin Memories Bay J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Sandy Forster	J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Sandy Forster	142	v	/P56P-	74	105	48	66d	—	—	+4	6.6	12.25/1	50 2%
Infrequent winner and his form has regressed in the last 18 months; enough to prove
