Reappeared with a chase debut win at Ascot last month; a 5lb rise may not stop this 5yo
4	The Kalooki Kid Grey J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	161	—	1485-2	124	131	92	42d	—	—	+11	28.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Good second on last month's chase debut at Ayr; the step back up in trip could be a plus
1	Classic King Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Emma Lavelle	J:Richard Patrick T:Emma Lavelle	164	—	F2-U81	127	131	93	14d	—	—	+11	22.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Won over C&D a fortnight ago despite mistakes; can improve if cutting out the blunders
6	Sea Invasion Chestnut J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	156	—	3413-2	119	126	93	26d	—	—	+16	24.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Progressive over hurdles last season and could build upon his recent chase/stable debut

Didn't shine on first two chase starts and soundly beaten back over hurdles last month

Won on chase debut at Fontwell in October but merely mid-division at Bangor since

Has run well on both visits here and his chase debut third gives him something to build on
5	Hidalgo de L'Isle Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	158	—	301242	121	138	120	28d	—	—	+25	29.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
2nd of 4 last time; could give another good account but others may have greater potential
8	Pinnacle Peak Bay J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	149	p	1414-0	112	120	-	28d	—	—	+14	15.9	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Something to prove regarding fences and current form, but not ruled out off a handy mark
