1	Scamallach Liath Grey J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	168	—	3322-1	118	121	114	29d	—	—	+6	36.4	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Progressive 221 record in handicap hurdles, the win here (nearly 3m1f) when well backed
2	Wrappedupinmay Chestnut J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	168	—	113-22	118	120	86	43d	—	—	0	24.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Lost at 8-13 last three outings; realistic opening handicap mark and shapes like a stayer
8	Zonda Grey J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	153	t	34	103	117	89	37d	—	—	+7	18.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Now tongue tied; with nearly an extra 1m, he's hugely unexposed for this handicap debut
9	Top Cloud Grey J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	145	t	P-1131	95	119	89	23d	—	—	+5	13.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%
3-4 in handicaps this autumn; softer than good would ask a question, along with 6lb rise
6	Idefix De Ciergues b/br J:Charlie Deutsch T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Rebecca Curtis	156	—	284-33	106	115	76	21d	—	—	+8	16.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Should be set for better at some point and penultimate start hinted he could be a stayer
4	Micro Millions Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	162	—	P1-33	112	108	86	27d	—	—	+11	17.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Early days and a new trip, so the improvement he needs on handicap debut is not ruled out
3	Transmission Bay J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Neil Mulholland	165	p	944-82	115	115	93	28d	—	—	+13	17.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Ex-Irish; 2nd in 3m1f maiden at Huntingdon; needs to build on that on this handicap debut
5	Illogical Logic Chestnut J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	157	—	34-664	107	115	69	31d	—	—	+12	15.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Should be capable of further improvement; a market check is advised on this handicap debut
7	Technology Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	154	—	/52P-U	104	120	104	21d	—	—	+11	14.4	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Pulled up on soft in March; back over hurdles, with plenty of stamina in his pedigree
