1	Master Chewy Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Tom Bellamy T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	168	—	214F2-	154	161	150	203d	—	—	+14	42.8	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Top novice last season and a 4lb rise for nearly winning a Grade 1 seems very fair
7	Martator Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	148	p	23111-	134	156	143	189d	—	—	+32	50.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Signed off last term on a high and returns in a race his trainer has targeted in the past
6	Saint Segal Bay J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	J:David Noonan T:Jane Williams	149	t	2U36-4	135	161	136	21d	—	—	+9	26.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has run well on both visits here and he's handicapped to threaten once more
8	Kotmask Chestnut J:Caoilin Quinn(3) T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Caoilin Quinn(3) T:Gary & Josh Moore	143	—	11F34-	129	162	134	189d	—	—	+17	29.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Jumping can sometimes lack fluency and current mark could be troublesome at this level
10	Frere d'Armes Bay J:Miss Heidi Palin(7) T:Dan Skelton	J:Miss Heidi Palin(7) T:Dan Skelton	142	—	4-8832	128	164	143	13d	—	—	+10	23.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Well treated on past form here but on recent evidence this looks a challenging task
5	Madara Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Keiran Burke	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Keiran Burke	156	tp	U6119-	142	155	140	234d	—	—	+26	38	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Upwardly mobile 5yo last season but softer ground would heighten interest
2	Uncle Phil Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	163	ht	315-0P	149	155	95	147d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+16	28.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Poor in last three runs and opposable despite the lure of the Mullins/Townend factor
4	Matterhorn Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Paul Nicholls	J:Nico de Boinville T:Paul Nicholls	161	t	-1111P	147	160	131	72d	—	—	+33	42.3	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has got himself high in the weights ahead of his stiffest test to date over fences
9	Issar d'Airy Bay J:Freddie Mitchell(5) T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Freddie Mitchell(5) T:Gary & Josh Moore	142	—	31155-	128	162	139	194d	—	—	+24	29.8	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Progressive on soft ground last season but struggled once the ground had dried up
3	Malystic Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Peter Niven	J:Jonathan Burke T:Peter Niven	163	—	7P33-2	149	158	142	27d	—	—	+26	31.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Three wins two seasons back included a verdict over Saint Segal when giving that one 13lb
