10	Double Powerful Chestnut J:Dylan Johnston(5) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Dylan Johnston(5) T:Neil Mulholland	156	h	9411-1	93	118	90	10d	—	—	-17	40.8	0.13/1	8/15 65%
Rapidly improving 5yo, escapes a penalty for latest win; major player
13	Robber's Bridge Bay J:James Best T:Simon Earle	J:James Best T:Simon Earle	156	—	212-21	93	104	88	100d	—	—	0	15.2	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Admirably consistent 6yo; up 6lb for Worcester win in July but sure to be involved.
11	Ca Plane Pour Moi Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Neil Mulholland	J:Sean Bowen T:Neil Mulholland	156	—	7PP-90	93	108	23	35d	—	—	+5	13.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Stable has a much stronger candidate in Double Powerful; easy to look elsewhere.
5	Strackan Bay J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	162	—	/43P9-	99	103	90	206d	—	—	+6	15.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Yet to make an impact in handicaps but the drop back in trip and class should help.
12	Getuptheyard Bay J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	156	t	96484-	93	104	98	186d	—	—	+6	12.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Improved since switched to handicaps but doesn't look straightforward; place claims.
6	Seignor Gringo Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	161	p	/P36-4	98	104	58	143d	—	—	+8	13.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Fair fourth over 3m2f with cheekpieces added in May; the drop back in trip is a worry.
3	Despereaux Bay J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	163	—	7348-8	100	108	80	26d	—	—	+10	13.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
On a dangerous mark but hard to warm to based on recent form.
4	Sparkling Duke Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	162	p	/48P5-	99	103	72	188d	—	—	+10	13	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Tailed off on handicap debut in April; needs to improve considerably for the new headgear.
14	Commodore Miller Bay J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Danni O'Neill	J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Danni O'Neill	156	—	PF/08-	93	99	54	277d	—	—	+10	11.1	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Soundly beaten on both completed starts for this stable; hard to make a case for.
NR	Rehill Relic Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Sam Allwood	J:NON-RUNNER T:Sam Allwood	163	—	26442-	100	97	89	173d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—
Point winner who should improve for this step up in trip on handicap debut.
NR	Midnight Jewel Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Charlie Longsdon	J:NON-RUNNER T:Charlie Longsdon	163	—	4-6314	100	104	82	12d	—	—	—	12.5	—	—
Reliable 8yo who reverts to hurdles off a 14lb lower mark; likely to be thereabouts.
NR	Horsesomeharry Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:NON-RUNNER T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	161	p	P66-	98	101	-	175d	—	—	—	12	—	—
Goes up in trip with stamina in his pedigree; worth a market check on handicap debut.
NR	Trevor's Lad Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Toby Lawes	J:NON-RUNNER T:Toby Lawes	161	—	34/P-	98	103	-	180d	—	—	—	12	—	—
Lightly raced 6yo who has his issues and others have more obvious claims.
NR	Grass's Jet Brown J:NON-RUNNER T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:NON-RUNNER T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	160	p	4574-8	97	104	96	110d	—	—	—	11.8	—	—
Failed to justify strong support on stable debut; not completely ruled out back in trip.
