Much improved since tackling handicaps; just denied at Tipperary latest; very interesting
5	Choccabloc Bay J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	157	—	12152-	128	138	122	231d	—	—	+9	44.1	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Lightly raced; promising in novices last term and now goes handicapping; leading contender
7	Tamar Bridge Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	154	—	PP/P/2	125	138	110	50d	—	—	-1	33.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Won this race in 2021; shaped well after long absence at Uttoxeter; major player

Hasn't really taken to fences but this switch back to hurdling looks a positive move

Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness with three wins this autumn; high on the list
2	Pyramid Place Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Olly Murphy	J:Brian Hughes T:Olly Murphy	165	h	0-1741	136	140	109	26d	—	—	+14	24.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Kempton win last month was his ninth in all; will need another personal best to follow up

Best effort when winning over C&D last winter; hard to dismiss under conditions that suit

Ended 2023-24 by scoring at Uttoxeter; loves the mud; may still have untapped potential
9	Country Park Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	150	—	9-B232	121	136	118	20d	—	—	+12	20	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Point winner; 0-6 under rules but open to improvement now handicapping and upped in trip

Two below-par efforts this autumn, following a layoff; others are more obvious
