Absent since Ludlow win in May; strong claims on that form off just 4lb higher
2	Zamond Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	166	p	1U52-7	101	106	96	20d	—	—	+1	17.8	9/2 18%
Disappointing effort latest but plenty of previous runs give him a very solid chance
7	Gone In Sixty Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	146	tp	239-35	81	106	57	17d	—	—	-4	12.8	4/1 20%
Fair third two starts ago but below that form next time; cheekpieces could help
8	Pittsburg Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	144	t	9062-5	79	105	58	46d	—	—	-5	12.5	9/2 18%
Fair chase run last month; market should guide as to what's expected back hurdling
3	Graffiti Bay J:Isabelle Ryder(10) T:Gary Brown	J:Isabelle Ryder(10) T:Gary Brown	163	—	2133-	102	105	85	—	—	—	+16	27.9	13/2 13%
Hurdle form isn't sparkling but won on the Flat last month; some appeal
6	Gday Aussie Bay J:Lee Edwards T:Dave Roberts	J:Lee Edwards T:Dave Roberts	149	t	6157/7	84	-	-	44d	—	—	+3	10.7	11 9%
Well beaten on return from long absence; may do better with that run behind him
5	Wee Jerry Bay J:Gearoid Brouder(5) T:Neill Mccluskey	J:Gearoid Brouder(5) T:Neill Mccluskey	151	t	-6P50P	86	100	81	18d	—	—	+6	10.2	22/1 4%
Unplaced all 13 hurdle starts, the latest pair at Cartmel

No joy over hurdles in Britain and last of 12 over C&D ten days ago
