6	Grey Skies Grey J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	152	—	5411-2	123	146	132	32d	—	—	+12	28	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won at Perth in April and good second over this C&D since; firmly in calculations
10	Arctic Ambition Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	147	—	41-211	118	138	47	33d	—	—	+4	22.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Hurdle wins the last twice and he's 3-7 over fences; strong contender for top Irish yard
4	Marshalled Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Ben Haslam	J:Donagh Meyler T:Ben Haslam	156	p	533-12	127	144	126	34d	—	—	+9	23.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Beaten just a nose over C&D last time and this in-form 9yo is a solid contender
11	Walking The Walk Bay J:Dylan Kitts(7) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Dylan Kitts(7) T:Gordon Elliott	142	tb	5-2221	113	145	98	21d	—	—	+7	19.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Has a modest strike-rate but won in good style at Perth last time and he could go well
7	Arthurs Quay Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Ben Haslam	J:Richie McLernon T:Ben Haslam	152	t	232-94	123	143	113	34d	—	—	+12	20.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Stayed on for fourth over 2m1f here last time and could be a player now back up in trip
8	Captain Tom Cat Bay J:Luke Scott(7) T:Dr Richard Newland	J:Luke Scott(7) T:Dr Richard Newland	149	—	2U-383	120	146	132	10d	—	—	+9	20.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Given a big chance by the handicapper but needs to produce more than the last twice
3	Ubetya Bay J:Henry Brooke T:Jedd Okeeffe	J:Henry Brooke T:Jedd Okeeffe	157	v	2458-1	128	143	125	34d	—	—	+23	32.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Won over C&D in May and remains feasibly treated back up 6lb; could be bang there
NR	Hang In There Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	168	—	P14-25	139	145	-	23d	—	—	+4	30	3.75/1	16 6%
Well beaten over hurdles last time but this Grade 2 novice chase winner is not ruled out
9	Broken Ice Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Gavin Cromwell	147	p	868-22	118	140	56	28d	—	—	+12	18.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Irish raider; runner-up the last twice; contender if conditions suit (might not want soft)
5	Quoi De Neuf Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	154	tp	512-41	125	145	113	28d	—	—	+13	20.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Only two completed when he won narrowly at Fakenham latest but his mark remains unchanged
2	Messire Des Obeaux Bay J:Daryl Jacob T:Alan King	J:Daryl Jacob T:Alan King	166	—	3/P15-	137	145	94	99d	—	—	+21	25.1	5.25/1	22 5%
Well beaten at Newbury in March last time but won at Warwick previously; not discounted
12	Sword Of Fate Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Leonard Kerr	J:Sean Quinlan T:Leonard Kerr	142	—	12-283	113	138	121	21d	—	—	+13	16.6	9.75/1	40 3%
2nd in this last year; some positive runs in recent months but 8lb out of the h'cap today
