4	I'd Like To Know Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	162	—	62-421	128	144	128	31d	—	—	-4	30.1	0.38/1	6/4 40%
Has made a good start over fences and this scopey 7yo can progress further
5	Scarface Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	162	p	633121	128	143	124	23d	—	—	+27	44.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Recent Sandown winner and no reason why he shouldn't have a major say off 3lb higher
3	Bourbali Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Joe Tizzard	J:Jack Quinlan T:Joe Tizzard	164	h	2-P142	130	139	123	80d	—	—	+15	26.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Early days over fences and he ran well under a big weight on handicap debut latest
6	Huelgoat Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	161	t	-24186	127	142	124	86d	—	—	+18	27.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Has been waiting for the ground to dry out and his winning form in Nov brings him into it
2	Kotmask Chestnut J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	166	—	1F411F	132	141	115	23d	—	—	+24	33.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Even with a trouble-free round he might be too high in the weights now
1	Black Gerry Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Gary Moore	J:Tom Cannon T:Gary Moore	168	b	1-P5PF	134	139	104	29d	—	—	+24	29.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Won this last year off 5lb higher but this season hasn't gone half as well
7	Walk In Clover Bay J:Fergus Gillard T:Dan Skelton	J:Fergus Gillard T:Dan Skelton	152	h	U34P34	118	140	133	8d	—	—	+15	20.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Has the form to feature but she's not one to rely on; didn't improve for a hood last week
