Placed in notable staying chases last twice and this test should be right up his street
10	My Silver Lining Grey J:James Best T:Emma Lavelle	J:James Best T:Emma Lavelle	149	—	-12212	131	154	117	28d	—	—	+30	41.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Much improved during an admirably consistent campaign thus far; plenty again in her favour
6	Autonomous Cloud Bay J:Paddy Brennan T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Paddy Brennan T:Fergal O'Brien	153	t	221-1P	135	154	101	80d	—	—	+13	24.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Dual course winner; bled in the Welsh National; big shout if the wheels stay on this time
1	Mr Incredible Bay J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	168	—	/B23U-	150	150	130	336d	—	—	+20	31.2	1.50/1	6/1 14%
No sign of old quirks since joining this yard and has placed form in staying chases
7	Guetapan Collonges Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Richie McLernon T:Charlie Longsdon	153	t	14-133	135	155	118	63d	—	—	+15	23.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Reliable in these staying chases but was a remote 4th last year when 3lb lower
11	Young Dev Grey J:Daniel King(3) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Daniel King(3) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	142	p	6341U4	124	154	127	6d	—	—	+17	25.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Recent winner but below the form he showed when runner-up in this two years ago
5	Farceur Du Large Grey J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	154	—	P-P811	136	153	100	30d	—	—	+17	23.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Could be interesting after surging back to form in two military chases at Sandown
8	Ask Me Early Grey J:Jonathan Burke T:Harry Fry	J:Jonathan Burke T:Harry Fry	153	tp	P6P-91	135	154	109	34d	—	—	+17	22.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Cheekpieces did the trick on heavy at Exeter; up 7lb and has to be every bit as good again
2	Beauport Bay J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	158	—	9F-52P	140	154	93	63d	—	—	+20	23.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Capable stayer on his day but it's hard to know for sure which Beauport will turn up
4	Truckers Lodge Bay J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	157	b	81-B1P	139	151	42	80d	—	—	+20	23.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Former winner of this but powers are on the wane despite December's Sandown success
12	Foxboro Bay J:Harry Kimber(3) T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber(3) T:Robert Walford	142	p	-78192	124	154	118	22d	—	—	+26	29.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Strong stayer but inconsistent and has finished tailed off the last twice
13	Gold Clermont Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Andy Irvine	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Andy Irvine	142	—	-31814	124	149	108	21d	—	—	+27	29.9	6.25/1	25/1 4%
In form and 4th in the 4m1f Eider latest; however, 9lb out of the handicap here
NR	Inis Oirr Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Lucinda Russell	J:NON-RUNNER T:Lucinda Russell	151	v	-U4251	133	154	-	42d	—	—	—	33	—	—
Raised 14lb for his Musselburgh romp but he's dangerously unexposed; non-runner
