Possibly best left handed but now goes in cheekpieces and the ability is there
6	Kotmask Chestnut J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	149	—	2-31F4	120	143	132	31d	—	—	+6	27.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Improving chaser; perhaps found out by the good ground when close up at Kempton latest
3	Mount Tempest Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	157	b	3-2811	128	141	121	13d	—	—	+9	26.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Unbeaten in blinkers, positively ridden to win two chases over this far; up 12lb for those
1	Sir Psycho Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	165	p	337-12	136	144	117	44d	—	—	+11	25.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Recent Ascot winner but came up short at Exeter (2lb lower); might need further nowadays
2	General Medrano Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	J:Tom Bellamy T:Emma Lavelle	163	—	4-1125	134	146	114	31d	—	—	+13	24.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Sharp improver over fences before a lesser effort at Kempton a month ago
5	Keep Running Grey J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	151	—	35-F21	122	147	117	18d	—	—	+10	21.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Raised in class off a 4lb higher mark but very much heading in the right direction
