Fit off the Flat when a 5l third at Plumpton three weeks ago
9	Legendary Day Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Brian Hughes T:Adrian Paul Keatley	152	tp	123-	110	129	95	—	—	—	+14	31.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Lightly raced hurdler who might be on a good mark given his useful Flat ability
2	Iliko D'Olivate Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	166	t	124P1-	124	125	107	213d	—	—	+19	36	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Dual novice winner; further progress needed to defy this mark on handicap debut
10	Fourofakind b/br J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	150	—	23195-	108	128	96	205d	—	—	+13	24.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Ex-Flat; still unexposed as a hurdler (maiden winner) and returns from wind surgery
3	Kaleb Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Amy Murphy	J:Jack Quinlan T:Amy Murphy	165	—	2U07-2	123	127	106	20d	—	—	+17	25.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Pleasing second on Plumpton return and a stiffer stamina test here won't faze him
5	Aurigny Mill Bay J:Jamie Moore T:Victor Dartnall	J:Jamie Moore T:Victor Dartnall	159	ht	/4712-	117	128	84	213d	—	—	+23	31	2.25/1	10 10%
Beaten by Iliko D'Olivate in his final novice but a 7lb pull makes it interesting
1	Jupiter Du Gite Bay J:Niall Houlihan(3) T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan(3) T:Gary Moore	168	h	/16P3-	126	128	112	225d	—	—	+19	25.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Talented but very headstrong and will need to give himself a chance by settling
4	Totterdown Bay J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Richard Phillips	J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Richard Phillips	164	h	5/155-	122	128	100	233d	—	—	+14	19.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Record when fresh heightens interest but he's by some way the oldest of these
6	Galahad Threepwood Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	157	—	4U1F0-	115	127	99	207d	—	—	+16	21.1	4.25/1	18 6%
Flat background and questionable how much improvement he has in him
8	Iontach Cheval Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Alastair Ralph	J:Jonathan Burke T:Alastair Ralph	154	—	34/18-	112	128	107	338d	—	—	+13	16.6	5.25/1	22 5%
Low-mileage 7yo who has won after a break in the past and is not handicapped out of it
