Back up 2lb but can prove competitive again, especially if his jumping holds up better.
2	Stay If U Want To ch J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	168	h	122-12	110	112	94	138d	—	—	+4	19.4	9/2 18%
Pedigree offers grounds for optimism upped to new trip; player on handicap debut
9	Express Surprise b J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	147	t	5U37-2	89	110	90	138d	—	—	+3	19.5	4/1 20%
Back to his best with a Stratford second that increased trip and going options; chance.
1	Shantou Express ch J:Nathan Andrews(7) T:Kim Bailey	J:Nathan Andrews(7) T:Kim Bailey	170	—	8976-P	112	113	99	160d	—	—	+6	19.1	6/1 14%
Slide not halted by second wind operation, and he's now received a third; can't recommend.
5	Tout Sur Moi b J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	164	t	/0673-	106	106	92	220d	—	—	+11	19.5	17/2 11%
Looks a guaranteed improver for this sort of trip, maybe more so on softer than good.
4	Pop The Champagne b J:Kielan Woods T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	J:Kielan Woods T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	165	t	45-233	107	111	73	—	—	—	+8	16.5	10/1 9%
Winless since her summer 2022 novice four-timer; new trip wouldn't rate an obvious plus.
7	Fame And Fun b J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	158	t	3-7PU4	100	110	-	46d	—	—	+11	16	16/1 6%
Returns to scene of his most recent hurdles success (2023); may prefer slightly shorter.
8	Just Sophie b J:James Davies T:Noel Williams	J:James Davies T:Noel Williams	156	p	334P-0	98	113	32	164d	—	—	+10	12.9	33/1 3%
Not totally compelling but has more in her favour than last two starts; career-low mark.
NR	Sam's Amour b J:TBC T:Keiran Burke	J: T:Keiran Burke	167	—	8-1621	109	114	74	7d	—	—	—	14.8	—
1lb well in following last week's Exeter romp (2m2.5f); return to further no issue at all.
