Second to smart horses on his last two starts and he should be winning this
4	Thank You Ma'am Chestnut J:James Bowen T:Georgina Nicholls	J:James Bowen T:Georgina Nicholls	156	—	23-032	111	114	100	37d	—	—	+4	19.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Might not be good enough to trouble Fire Flyer but he looks very solid each-way
6	Zhang Fei Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	156	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Useful ability, has no stamina issues for hurdling and has joined a respected yard
9	Johannes Grey J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	144	—	60	-	111	70	24d	—	—	-3	1.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Flat winner; disappointing in both his hurdles either side of wind surgery
8	Hadley Park Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	144	t	7P	-	-	-	193d	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
1-9 on the Flat; underwhelming start over hurdles and perhaps one for handicaps
1	Bruce Gobbler Bay J:Ben Jones T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Ben Jones T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	156	—	4-900	-	78	30	24d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Has trailed in tailed off in three runs for this yard, the last two hurdles at Taunton
3	Our Nobby Bay J:Charlie Hammond T:Polly Gundry	J:Charlie Hammond T:Polly Gundry	156	—	7P/0P	-	-	-	31d	—	—	-1	0.2	125.00/1	500/1 0%
Has shown precious little in two West Country hurdles and was triple-digit odds for both
7	Basman Palace Bay J:Sean Houlihan T:Carroll Gray	J:Sean Houlihan T:Carroll Gray	153	t	55770	-	72	45	42d	—	—	-1	0.2	125.00/1	500/1 0%
Has yet to get remotely competitive and can't be fancied to beat the best of these
NR	Ugo Bingo b/br J:NON-RUNNER T:Syd Hosie	J:NON-RUNNER T:Syd Hosie	156	t	P	-	-	-	20d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Won sole Flat start (1m4f); perhaps failed to do himself justice when pulled up here
