#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
11	Trincomalee Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Lucy Wadham	J:Harry Cobden T:Lucy Wadham	147	p	152/62	114	139	110	23d	—	—	+5	20.4	1.00/1	4/1 20%
0-7 over fences but creditable second over C&D three weeks ago; impossible to rule out.
6	Bangers And Cash Bay J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	165	p	1-P834	132	140	94	35d	—	—	+17	31.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Better with each race this term; back to his last winning mark and unlikely to be far away
10	Rose Of Arcadia Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	159	t	-17332	126	144	123	43d	—	—	+20	33.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
In-form mare; runner-up over C&D last time despite being hampered and losing a shoe; solid
5	Castle Robin Chestnut J:Paul O'Brien T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Paul O'Brien T:Charlie Longsdon	165	tp	14F-56	132	141	124	35d	—	—	+12	23.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D winner off 2lb higher; better than bare result both runs this season; high on the list
2	Ballygrifincottage Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	168	tp	PP-3P5	135	138	103	21d	—	—	+14	24.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Signs of a revival when fifth of nine at Ascot; not without a chance if building on that
4	Easy As That Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	166	—	15-660	133	138	123	42d	—	—	+15	23	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Disappointing last two outings; slipping in the weights but needs to rediscover his spark
3	Switch Hitter Bay J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	167	—	/71-35	134	137	109	77d	—	—	+17	22.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Two respectable efforts this season; drying ground would help his cause
7	No Risk Des Flos Grey J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	165	t	13-P34	132	140	100	44d	—	—	+17	21.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Needs to bounce back from last poor run and also has stamina to prove for 3m
9	Boldmere Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Alex Hales	J:Kielan Woods T:Alex Hales	161	—	21-P4P	128	141	23	56d	—	—	+17	20.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Below par this season but has had excuses; interesting at likely lengthy odds
8	Secret Reprieve Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Evan Williams	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Evan Williams	163	—	/923P-	130	138	-	357d	—	—	+22	23.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
2021 Welsh National winner; well handicapped but seems fragile and returns from a year off
