7	Good Boy Bobby Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	150	—	4P04-5	132	159	129	165d	—	—	+2	28.5	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Potentially well handicapped and he returns to the fray with his yard in good form
1	Aye Right Bay J:Ryan Mania T:Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford	J:Ryan Mania T:Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford	168	—	/2P44-	150	158	135	237d	—	—	+14	30.5	0.75/1	4 25%
Quality chaser capable of showing his form when fresh; hard to rule out off this mark
6	Danny Kirwan Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	151	p	/22F-7	133	156	117	165d	—	—	+12	24.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
On last season's reappearance he finished second in a strong 3m handicap chase at Ascot
2	Thomas Darby Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	167	t	23615-	149	150	135	182d	—	—	+26	36.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Classy hurdler having only his fifth run over fences; too talented to discount
4	Landofsmiles Bay J:James Bowen T:Peter Bowen	J:James Bowen T:Peter Bowen	155	p	/1F511	137	150	117	46d	—	—	+35	42.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Has less to prove than some in his current form but would be opposable on soft
3	De Rasher Counter Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	158	—	520F4-	140	158	125	223d	—	—	+17	25.2	2.25/1	10 10%
Long time since this low in the weights; capable when fresh and the wetter the better
9	Chirico Vallis Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Neil Mulholland	J:Richie McLernon T:Neil Mulholland	145	tp	/303-6	127	153	128	137d	—	—	+15	21	3.25/1	14 7%
Back from a similar break when winning at this meeting two years ago
5	Cyclop Bay J:Theo Gillard T:David Dennis	J:Theo Gillard T:David Dennis	152	tp	11FP-2	134	153	131	16d	—	—	+23	27.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Should it get really miserable, this thorough stayer should be keeping on better than some
NR	Court Master Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Neil Mulholland	J:Adam Wedge T:Neil Mulholland	142	p	P-232U	124	151	117	38d	—	—	+15	19.9	5.25/1	22 5%
At his best in dominating small fields on goodish ground, others are preferred
8	Cap Du Nord Brown J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	146	p	190-30	128	157	80	103d	—	—	+17	20.6	6.00/1	25 4%
Capable stayer but below par of late and record fresh is none too convincing
