Smart staying chaser and his reappearance third came in a small-field novice hurdle
1	Shan Blue Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	168	p	/PP33-	142	146	121	270d	—	—	+14	32.1	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Not as good as he was but still classy and his yard won the last renewal of this race
3	Pull Again Green Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	161	t	-70332	135	143	110	32d	—	—	+19	34.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Close to a PB when second at Chepstow (good); not had a lot of racing on soft ground

Probably has more to offer but could need today's run and would prefer even softer ground
9	Ask Me Early Grey J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	157	tp	/9185-	131	148	105	220d	—	—	+20	27.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Hard to predict but useful on his day and 8lb lower than when third in this two years ago

Latest close fourth in the Topham shows that he's no back number at the age of 12
10	Bretney Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	147	p	312P1-	121	145	128	201d	—	—	+28	34.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Five-time chase winner but he's accustomed to lower-grade races than today's assignment
7	Major Dundee Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	158	v	/35PU-	132	149	110	263d	—	—	+16	22.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Extreme tests of stamina are more his game these days; perhaps one for another day
4	Erne River Bay J:Charlie Hammond T:Nick Kent	J:Charlie Hammond T:Nick Kent	160	p	P15P-P	134	149	137	180d	—	—	+17	22.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Capable chaser when on song but couldn't be sure how he'll perform back from a break
5	Monte Igueldo Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Gary Hanmer	J:Robert Dunne T:Gary Hanmer	159	t	/4P-32	133	144	109	108d	—	—	+17	22.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Good form this summer; an unexposed stayer but may prefer drier conditions
