Respectable form for previous yard; now with Dan Skelton and had wind surgery
8	Captain Boudet Grey J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	155	p	4396-3	101	116	95	30d	—	—	+7	19.4	1.50/1	6/1 14%

Same mark as when beaten 12l at Warwick, though lacked a recent run that day
6	Flash Gorcombe Bay J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	158	t	32118-	104	-	-	226d	—	—	+24	29	4.50/1	18/1 5%
First run in a handicap over hurdles and chasing exploits bring him right into this
3	Night Duty Brown J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	160	—	1/3/55	106	113	55	23d	—	—	+18	22.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Two runs since returning leave him with a good bit to prove here on handicap debut
9	Confidential Gosip Chestnut J:James Martin(5) T:Laura Horsfall	J:James Martin(5) T:Laura Horsfall	150	p	035568	96	116	103	73d	—	—	+10	12.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Tailed off in two runs for current yard, the latest a handicap; cheekpieces turned to
10	Demilion Grey J:Jack Hogan(3) T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Jack Hogan(3) T:Alexandra Dunn	149	t	9-445	95	115	78	15d	—	—	+10	11.8	12.50/1	50/1 2%
At 40-1, the market told a tale on handicap debut and he was tailed off
