3	Brave Kingdom Bay J:Freddie Gingell(3) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Freddie Gingell(3) T:Paul Nicholls	163	t	1/11P-	137	151	119	294d	—	—	+7	38.8	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Excellent record when fresh; probably on a useful mark and he's not yet exposed
4	Good Risk At All Chestnut J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	161	t	0/134-	135	150	98	346d	—	—	+9	26.3	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Best form has been over shorter trips but appeals as a chaser with more to offer
8	Enjoy Your Life Bay J:Ned Fox(5) T:Venetia Williams	J:Ned Fox(5) T:Venetia Williams	144	—	413P-2	118	150	124	15d	—	—	+10	27	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Won twice at about this trip last season; could strip fitter for solid comeback run
9	Sporting Ace Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Neil King	J:Jack Quinlan T:Neil King	143	p	1622-2	117	145	122	21d	—	—	+15	24.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
It's been a solid start over fences and couldn't put a line through him off light weight
1	Gelino Bello Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	168	—	/11FP/	142	145	-	679d	—	—	+15	34	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Unexposed chaser but might be asking a bit much to win this first time back under 12st
6	No Hubs No Hoobs Bay J:Ben Jones T:Joe Tizzard	J:Ben Jones T:Joe Tizzard	150	tb	5111-4	124	145	121	41d	—	—	+9	22.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Loved heavy ground last season; comeback run on good was perfectly respectable
5	Regal Blue Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Nick Scholfield T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	157	—	P1P1-P	131	151	130	24d	—	—	+14	22.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Useful when on song and wouldn't put it past him bouncing back from a laboured return
7	Imperial Alex Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Tom Lacey	J:Kielan Woods T:Tom Lacey	147	—	211-19	121	144	80	160d	—	—	+13	19.8	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Improving 3m chaser earlier this year and valid excuses for latest Uttoxeter no-show
NR	Certainly Red Chestnut J:Marc Goldstein T:Lydia Richards	J:Marc Goldstein T:Lydia Richards	168	p	P34-21	142	142	129	27d	—	—	—	23	—	—
In form but up to challenging mark and would prefer drier ground; first preference Sandown
