Up another 8lb in a much better race but he's only 7yo and seems to be improving
9	Pimlico Point Chestnut J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	148	t	/241U-	123	149	113	34d	—	—	+14	29.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Only four chase runs and, unlike a lot of these, he could still be on the upgrade
3	Ballygrifincottage Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	162	tp	3P527-	137	149	120	14d	—	—	+15	29.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Leading player if recovered from his good run in the recent Scottish National
4	Farceur Du Large Grey J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	160	—	P8115-	135	147	94	49d	—	—	+25	36.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Two Sandown wins before failing to stay 4m2f in the Midlands National here

May need a personal best to win at this level but running well and appeals each-way
1	Flegmatik Chestnut J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	168	tp	3142P-	143	147	126	22d	—	—	+26	30.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Can run well away from Kempton but it's never going to be easy off his current mark
5	Docpickedme Chestnut J:Lee Edwards T:Richard Hobson	J:Lee Edwards T:Richard Hobson	154	tp	771PP-	129	147	135	12d	—	—	+19	23.3	4.50/1	18/1 5%
He's not easy to predict but a good day would see him have some say off this mark
2	Cheddleton Brown J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	163	p	44P1P-	138	146	105	42d	—	—	+24	27.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Newcastle chase wins splits two pull-ups over hurdles; not as good as he was
7	Top Ville Ben Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Philip Kirby	J:Robert Dunne T:Philip Kirby	150	h	P28P5-	125	147	108	35d	—	—	+17	19.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Mark continues to slide but he looks vulnerable to rivals in better form

Running well but might be vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far
