Fairly useful chaser at his best but did not hit top gear last season (five runs)
9	Out Of Focus Grey J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	158	—	33844-	98	112	100	34d	—	—	+4	17.5	9/2 18%
Only beaten about 9l when fourth in both chases and can still do better; new trip today

Returned from break with clearcut win last month and 5lb rise ought to be manageable
7	American Gerry Bay J:Freddie Gingell(3) T:Hughie Morrison	J:Freddie Gingell(3) T:Hughie Morrison	162	p	4341-5	102	115	104	14d	—	—	+5	16.1	6/1 14%
Won a tactical race two starts ago but is not the force of old; others preferred
10	Time To Bite Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Chris Honour	J:Bryan Carver T:Chris Honour	152	b	13512-	92	116	102	56d	—	—	+18	28.3	13/2 13%
Aggressive front-runner; won twice last season; hard to catch when in a good rhythm
11	I Love You Sivola Bay J:Charlie Price(3) T:Helen Nelmes	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Helen Nelmes	144	t	6642U-	84	110	77	26d	—	—	+5	12.7	17/2 11%
Kept on for modest second behind revitalised rival in March but others appeal more
6	The Likely Lad Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Tom George	J:Jonathan Burke T:Tom George	163	t	3/4P5-	103	-	-	29d	—	—	+10	17.3	10/1 9%
0-5 over hurdles but moves up in trip for chase/handicap debut and remains unexposed
8	Up For Appeal Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	159	—	61334-	99	110	96	181d	—	—	+14	20.6	11/1 8%
Has fitness to prove after six-month break but made encouraging chase debut in the autumn
4	Begin The Luck Bay J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	165	h	311P4-	105	117	96	27d	—	—	+18	22.5	16/1 6%
Didn't run badly behind Duke Of Luckley last month; ought to be at concert pitch now
2	You Say Nothing Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	166	—	F23P5-	106	117	108	50d	—	—	+14	16.4	25/1 4%
On a good mark but needs to better recent efforts and seems best over 2m on slow ground
NR	Exmoor Forest Bay J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	165	—	P4934-	105	114	80	37d	—	—	—	15.6	—
Made quite encouraging chase debut at Chepstow last month; now needs to build on that run
