Finished tired at Uttoxeter (2m7f) and this shorter trip should be in her favour
10	Sir Jack West Bay J:Chris Ward(3) T:Deborah Cole	J:Chris Ward(3) T:Deborah Cole	148	ht	P3-135	90	112	-	75d	—	—	-1	14.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won over fences here in May; never went a yard last time but now back hurdling
9	Rare Clouds Bay J:James Best T:Simon Earle	J:James Best T:Simon Earle	158	—	12S44-	100	116	79	327d	—	—	+6	20	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Quite exposed and probably one to watch back from his break
2	Cawthorne Lad Chestnut J:Kielan Woods T:D J Jeffreys	J:Kielan Woods T:D J Jeffreys	166	—	4436-3	108	115	90	87d	—	—	+10	20.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Infrequent winner who was laboured on stable debut, albeit over 3m2f
7	Caspers Court Grey J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Kayley Woollacott	J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Kayley Woollacott	163	—	5117-9	105	115	84	29d	—	—	+7	16.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
After two wins earlier this year he suddenly lost his form; 5lb above last winning mark
3	Beholden Bay J:Will Featherstone(10) T:Jamie Snowden	J:Will Featherstone(10) T:Jamie Snowden	165	p	512/3-	107	116	-	474d	—	—	+12	19.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Dual hurdle winner capable of bagging a handicap but has been a good-while absent
5	No Recollection Brown J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	163	t	-6140U	105	105	64	7d	—	—	+10	17.4	2.75/1	12 8%
2-3 here and unseated in the defeat; has stamina to prove over this far
8	Democritus Grey J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jo Davis	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jo Davis	160	t	7P42-8	102	115	84	33d	—	—	+8	14.7	2.75/1	12 8%
Tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut here and has the ability to cope with this mark
1	Creative Control Bay J:Theo Gillard T:Donald Mccain	J:Theo Gillard T:Donald Mccain	168	—	222P7-	110	114	-	125d	—	—	+15	20.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Chasing through the winter; has defied a higher hurdle mark; wind surgery
4	Heross Du Seuil Bay J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Ryan Potter	J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Ryan Potter	164	—	/45PP-	106	115	74	170d	—	—	+11	15.2	4.75/1	20 5%
Disappointing since winning in 2020 and pulled up in both runs this year
