Point and novice hurdle winner; carries penalty but has by far the best form
10	Taras Halls Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Sue Smith	J:Nick Scholfield T:Sue Smith	154	—	120-F7	-	81	57	11d	—	—	-6	2.5	17/2 11%

Point runner-up; makes rules debut in a race lacking depth and he's an each-way contender
8	Raffles Wonder Chestnut J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	154	t	415-40	-	83	56	14d	—	—	-4	1.4	20/1 5%

No threat on his four runs but has shown some ability and he's a contender for the places

Placed in points and on bumper debut; an each-way case can be made on first hurdle start
3	Bowler Jack Bay J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	154	—	9-70	-	68	15	26d	—	—	-1	0.4	100/1 1%
Pedigree suggests this step up in trip will suit but dramatic improvement is required
6	Kinder Kid Bay J:Stephen Mulqueen T:Tina Jackson	J:Stephen Mulqueen T:Tina Jackson	154	—	3-6	-	92	53	23d	—	—	0	2.7	50/1 2%

Hasn't shown enough across his three starts to suggest he'll be making an impact today
