4	Kartoon And Co Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	157	t	123	109	118	103	57d	—	—	+6	35.1	0.44/1	7/4 36%
The form of his two defeats stacks up well and he could have got in lightly off this mark
2	Through The Ages Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Gary Moore	J:Harry Cobden T:Gary Moore	167	—	311	119	118	99	62d	—	—	+25	40.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Won his last two easily and brings considerable potential into handicaps
3	Valadon Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Harry Fry	J:Jonathan Burke T:Harry Fry	164	—	211	116	116	104	46d	—	—	+27	39.6	1.25/1	5/1 17%
The handicapper has factored in some potential into his mark but he's promising
1	Castelfort Bay J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	168	—	2112	120	117	68	21d	—	—	+28	39.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Progressive despite his recent Haydock defeat; likely to give his running on this ground
5	Spiced Rum Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Stuart Kittow	J:Robert Dunne T:Stuart Kittow	157	h	2431	109	112	106	24d	—	—	+22	30.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Modest Flat winner who is doing well over hurdles but faces a stiffer test this time
8	Bridge Bay J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	150	—	856133	102	111	76	16d	—	—	+21	24	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Maiden winner who can probably win a handicap but this looks harder than last time
7	Nachtgeist Chestnut J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Charlton	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Charlton	152	—	632	104	118	101	—	—	—	+18	21.4	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Looks held by Through The Ages on their Plumpton form even with a pull in the weights
6	Blue Universe Bay J:Marc Goldstein T:Michael Attwater	J:Marc Goldstein T:Michael Attwater	154	—	43	106	110	92	35d	—	—	+15	17.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pleasing start over hurdles on good to soft; today's slower conditions may test him
