Had a good novice season year; perhaps best on good ground but does go on soft
3	Al Dancer Grey J:Charlie Deutsch T:Sam Thomas	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Sam Thomas	166	t	32/10-	148	157	138	183d	—	—	+8	31.8	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Has a good record fresh and always been classy; hard to dismiss off this mark
8	Nocte Volatus Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	147	t	26942-	129	156	134	189d	—	—	+9	33	0.69/1	11/4 27%
On a tough mark but his two seconds last season included his reappearance
10	Walk In Clover Bay J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Dan Skelton	142	—	311-42	124	155	121	22d	—	—	+6	23.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Beaten in a match last time but ran well; interesting on last season's peak efforts
1	Final Orders Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	168	—	15F-01	150	149	16	45d	—	—	+13	30	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Recent hurdle winner; had made giant strides over fences during the last year; respected
NR	Garincha Bay J:TBC T:Neil Mulholland	J: T:Neil Mulholland	143	p	4F141-	125	157	120	172d	—	—	+24	37	1.50/1	7 14%
3-6 over fences; versatile ground-wise but this is tougher than he's accustomed to
4	Elixir De Nutz Grey J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	165	tp	21292-	147	158	138	175d	—	—	+27	39.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Perhaps prefers drier conditions and his record fresh is no great selling point
NR	Nothin To Ask Bay J:TBC T:Fergal Obrien	J: T:Fergal Obrien	150	t	11P2F-	132	154	127	169d	—	—	+13	32.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Had a solid first season over fences, including a C&D success; bit to prove off this mark
NR	Flic Ou Voyou Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Paul Nicholls	J:NON-RUNNER T:Paul Nicholls	157	p	/151P-	139	156	143	187d	—	—	+7	41.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Won this last year; very capable on his day but needs the ground good or faster
NR	Our Jet Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Dan Skelton	J:NON-RUNNER T:Dan Skelton	148	t	/2136-	130	158	-	173d	—	—	-21	48.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
More to come as a chaser no doubt but he's missed soft-ground engagements in the past
