Fair 5th at 2m here on chase debut; this 3m point winner could relish today's longer trip
2	Elleon Bay J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	164	tp	12-811	105	113	96	22d	—	—	+2	18.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Arrives on hat-trick after two 3m course wins; different trip here but has to be respected
9	Edgewell Bay J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	142	p	557P-4	83	110	77	33d	—	—	0	11.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Fourth on last month's chase debut over C&D and could be sharper for that run; interesting

Won over C&D three weeks ago and this lightly raced 6yo could continue to improve
7	Dr Shirocco Chestnut J:Henry Brooke T:Sandy Forster	J:Henry Brooke T:Sandy Forster	151	—	62-123	92	110	94	22d	—	—	+1	14.5	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Two-time course winner (including this last year) who might not be far away
6	Grand Du Nord Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	152	—	2/36-5	93	99	57	28d	—	—	+7	15.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
On a handy mark on best hurdle form and may have needed recent chase debut after absence
1	Hidden Commander Bay J:Sam Coltherd T:Stuart Coltherd	J:Sam Coltherd T:Stuart Coltherd	168	tp	10P-74	109	112	89	28d	—	—	+7	17.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
C&D winner who runs off last winning mark; needs another step back in right direction
8	Play By The Rules Bay J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	144	tp	0O9-45	85	99	80	22d	—	—	+4	10.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Soundly beaten recently on his first two chase starts and needs to raise his game

Has travelled from Northern Ireland; on a reduced mark but for good reason
