Third over C&D a fortnight ago and may be better suited by today's less testing ground

Course hurdle winner; well held when third on chase debut but could have a say here
1	Gaelic Park Brown J:Bradley Roberts(5) T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Bradley Roberts(5) T:Charlie Longsdon	168	—	225P1-	119	-	-	271d	—	—	+18	33.1	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Not seen since wide-margin hurdle win in March but still of interest on chasing debut
2	Jacamar Bay J:Bradley Harris(5) T:Anthony Charlton	J:Bradley Harris(5) T:Anthony Charlton	167	—	54-776	118	133	83	12d	—	—	+6	21.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Regressive 8yo; well suited by this C&D and too well handicapped to be ruled out
3	Sheldon Chestnut J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	166	—	53-F6P	117	128	-	30d	—	—	+10	19.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Dual chase winner last season; not much has gone to plan this term but he's on a good mark
6	Harlem Soul Chestnut J:Elizabeth Gale(7) T:Syd Hosie	J:Elizabeth Gale(7) T:Syd Hosie	162	—	5P-643	113	124	71	7d	—	—	+10	18.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Dual C&D winner last December but has become disappointing this year
4	Earth King Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Neil Mulholland	J:Bryan Carver T:Neil Mulholland	164	—	512-P5	115	100	67	20d	—	—	+12	18	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Remains lightly raced for his age but has made a disappointing start to his chasing career
