Made mistakes and pulled up at Ayr on Saturday, but won easily the time before

Runner-up on two of his three chase starts and this 5yo could have more to offer

New trip on chase debut but well worth noting his trainer has won 2 of the last 4 runnings
7	Impression Chic Grey J:Ryan Mania T:Richard Hobson	J:Ryan Mania T:Richard Hobson	159	t	2-6241	91	101	93	33d	—	—	+5	17.1	1.25/1	6 17%
Narrow win in small field on chase/handicap debut; in good hands to continue to progress

0-15 over hurdles and didn't show enough on chase debut to have compelling claims here

Hexham in June was first rules win at 27th attempt; he's not an obvious one to follow up
8	Euchan Falls Chestnut J:Danny McMenamin T:R Mike Smith	J:Danny McMenamin T:R Mike Smith	155	p	465-P0	87	-	-	13d	—	—	+4	11.2	3.25/1	14 7%
Two hurdle wins early this year (including here) but has lost his form; now goes chasing
13	Moo Moo's Milan Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:L J Morgan	J:Kevin Brogan T:L J Morgan	142	p	966	74	-	-	94d	—	—	+2	7.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Has shown very little but could play leading role if well backed on chase/handicap debut
11	West Lawn Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:James Walton	J:Jamie Hamilton T:James Walton	151	—	-P5P44	83	111	94	25d	—	—	+5	9.6	4.25/1	18 6%
Ran well from miles out of the weights at Hexham but may be flattered by that form
5	Moore Clouds Grey J:Callum Bewley T:Andrew Wilson	J:Callum Bewley T:Andrew Wilson	161	—	2F6-14	93	105	96	28d	—	—	+8	11.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Won at Market Rasen in June and may have needed the run at Sedgefield last month

Patchy profile nowadays and he was an early faller on sole chase start in April 2022
3	Marajman Grey J:Robert Dunne T:R Mike Smith	J:Robert Dunne T:R Mike Smith	168	tp	-512U1	100	102	87	113d	—	—	+25	27.8	6.75/1	28 4%
Two wins this summer for the Pogsons and his chasing experience is an asset in this field
2	Martalindy Bay J:Ross Chapman T:Philip Kirby	J:Ross Chapman T:Philip Kirby	168	—	126-P6	100	-	-	145d	—	—	+11	13.2	9.75/1	40 3%
