Better than a 1-11 record over fences suggests; visor back on after last time's antics
3	Bob Bob Ricard Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	165	p	2536-1	115	121	110	20d	—	—	+15	30.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%
On top close home on last month's Ffos Las chase/handicap debut (2m, good); stays further
9	Cape Vidal Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	160	t	/1P3-3	110	-	-	34d	—	—	+7	22.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Effective over at least 2m3f and good ground over hurdles; likely to take to chasing
12	Duke Of Luckley Bay J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	154	v	3221-6	104	125	110	30d	—	—	+5	16.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Southwell win franked by the second; long time since last run around a galloping track
11	Chess Player Chestnut J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	158	p	2163-3	108	128	108	23d	—	—	+8	21.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Made the podium on all four course visits in 2022; may need 2m3f-2m4f all the time now
10	Pozo Emery Bay J:John Kington T:L J Morgan	J:John Kington T:L J Morgan	159	p	243-14	109	-	-	15d	—	—	+9	16.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Southwell hurdle winner last month; this would be his easiest chasing assignment to date
4	No No Maestro Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	165	tp	/2166-	115	125	98	54d	—	—	+18	24.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Back below a winning mark; will have to prove that 2m4f isn't too sharp a test nowadays
13	You Say Nothing Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Christian Williams	J:Robert Dunne T:Christian Williams	152	—	3P5-P4	102	128	88	18d	—	—	+8	14.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Better again last time in spite of a late error; would appeal more over shorter with cut
1	Le Cameleon b/br J:Gavin Sheehan T:Kim Bailey	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Kim Bailey	168	t	/4P6-3	118	126	75	22d	—	—	+15	21.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Back on track with his Bangor third latest (2m4.5f, good to soft); eased 2lb more since
5	Judge Earle Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Peter & Michael Bowen	J:Sean Bowen T:Peter & Michael Bowen	165	—	645-P7	115	126	40	18d	—	—	+14	17.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
C&D chase scorer off 3lb lower last July (soft); has resumed in little form this term
7	Barton Knoll Bay J:Brian Hughes T:John Mackie	J:Brian Hughes T:John Mackie	162	—	/P364-	112	124	94	245d	—	—	+14	17.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Trip/ground are perfect and mark has never been lower; 245-day absence is a worry
6	Jony Max Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	162	t	P1P-4P	112	121	46	18d	—	—	+14	16.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Scorer off today's mark at Fakenham in November (3m, good to soft); out of form since
2	Defan Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Nick Scholfield T:Alexandra Dunn	167	—	0/574-	117	120	78	256d	—	—	+15	17.3	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Triple 2m-2m1f scorer in Ireland; less convincing over further; 58l last on stable debut
