Straight off the mark over fences when winning over C&D last month; 4lb rise looks fair.
3	Ballynaheer Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:David Dennis	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:David Dennis	164	t	P17-33	96	107	67	26d	—	—	-2	17.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Placed on both starts over fences and holds strong claims with conditions ideal.
6	Best Mate Dave Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:D J Jeffreys	J:Ciaran Gethings T:D J Jeffreys	155	b	-4P365	87	107	84	29d	—	—	0	14.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fair fifth on chase debut here (2m5f); each-way claims back up in trip
2	Langley Hundred Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	166	tp	-22755	98	109	100	20d	—	—	+7	17.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Maiden who twice went close over 3m2f in June; return to good ground will suit
8	Blackacre Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	148	—	3P2-35	80	-	-	30d	—	—	+1	10	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Maiden hurdler but showed promise and a likely type to improve for this switch to fences.
1	Anytrixwilldo Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	168	—	623-67	100	99	60	40d	—	—	+8	14.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Soundly beaten on chase/handicap debut and needs this longer trip to turn things around.
4	Faded Fantasy Bay J:David Noonan T:Christian Williams	J:David Noonan T:Christian Williams	161	t	207574	93	-	-	29d	—	—	+6	12.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Hard to be confident about but has the ability to figure if taking to fences.
9	Testflight Bay J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	142	p	-2U44P	74	94	75	12d	—	—	+3	7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Exposed 7yo who is well out of the weights; needs much more for first-time cheekpieces.
NR	Pawpaw Bay J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:D J Jeffreys	J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:D J Jeffreys	157	tp	6P3P51	89	103	68	4d	—	—	—	19.6	—	—
Inconsistent 7yo who won over 3m2f at Fontwell on Friday; comes with risk under penalty
