5	Crambo Bay J:Connor Brace T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Connor Brace T:Fergal O'Brien	164	t	P117-1	139	143	126	27d	—	—	+21	37	0.75/1	4 25%
Asserted late on for both 2m4f handicap wins and this trip could help; raised another 6lb
10	Slate Lane Chestnut J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	152	—	06D-111	127	146	111	75d	—	—	+4	25.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
3-3 for Emmet Mullins (3m2f latest); even today's 14lb rise might not have his measure
9	Emitom Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	152	—	/4P1-2	127	145	133	16d	—	—	+18	26.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Very smart at his peak (early 2020); first and second in his two runs for new stable
12	Dubrovnik Harry Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	150	t	/3P6-4	125	145	108	28d	—	—	+12	21.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Staying-on fourth of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) on last month's reappearance
14	Lord Snootie Chestnut J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	148	—	4125-7	123	145	140	28d	—	—	+12	20.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Bad late mistake on return; could still do better but this may not be enough of a slog
7	Santos Blue Bay J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Dan Skelton	J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Dan Skelton	154	t	1113-2	129	143	121	27d	—	—	+20	26.5	3.25/1	14 7%
Has form figures of 11132 (at 2m3f-3m under Ben Sutton) since handicapping; stays 3m
3	Howlingmadmurdock Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	165	—	/1215-	140	144	107	225d	—	—	+31	36.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Concern that Grade 1 novice 5th has blown his handicap mark but he is very lightly raced
13	Fine Margin Bay J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	149	—	55429-	124	137	96	213d	—	—	+17	23.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Handicap/seasonal debut; a lot more is needed; switch to Willie Mullins catches the eye
16	Goshhowposh Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	146	—	243-1	121	143	125	32d	—	—	+24	29.1	4.25/1	18 6%
Won handicap debut; more to give after just 4 races but this one is much more competitive
6	Sholokjack Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	155	—	/F16F-	130	141	-	225d	—	—	+20	24.3	5.25/1	22 5%
Stamina remains unproven but he could be thrown in if judged on his 2m4f chase win
1	Bold Endeavour Bay J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	168	p	252-23	143	142	130	16d	—	—	+20	24.5	4.25/1	18 6%
Highly competitive in handicaps back over hurdles and was second of 16 over C&D in May
4	Gowel Road b/br J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	165	—	27/21-	140	145	-	392d	—	—	+19	23.9	4.25/1	18 6%
Unraced beyond 2m5f and has first run for 392 days but his stable has been going well
2	Wakool Grey J:Danny McMenamin T:N W Alexander	J:Danny McMenamin T:N W Alexander	165	v	2410-6	140	145	130	21d	—	—	+20	23.3	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Won C&D Grade 2; failed to get competitive (Flat/hurdles) this autumn; headgear switch
NR	Carbon King Black J:TBC T:Evan Williams	J: T:Evan Williams	151	—	116-8P	126	143	108	21d	—	—	+11	22.2	12.25/1	50 2%
Did well in Ireland last term; questions to answer lately; not proven over this far
15	Schalke Bay J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	148	—	4214-8	123	143	133	21d	—	—	+17	18.8	12.25/1	50 2%
Two big runs over 2m7f last winter; needs to resume improvement with recent under his belt
8	Pyramid Place Bay J:Harry Reed T:Syd Hosie	J:Harry Reed T:Syd Hosie	153	h	131315	128	142	135	19d	—	—	+30	32.1	19.75/1	80 1%
