Has form figures of 112 since switched to handicaps; may still have more to offer
9	Old Time Chaser Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	159	—	3/4-64	100	111	79	32d	—	—	+3	18.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Could be capable of significant improvement now handicapping; one to consider
4	Fourtowns Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	165	t	-5F452	106	112	105	29d	—	—	+8	23	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Largely consistent maiden; creditable second at Uttoxeter most recently; in the mix
2	Onewaywest Bay J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	168	—	222F-	109	107	98	355d	—	—	+11	24.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Still open to progress in handicaps and looks interesting on return from absence
5	Poncho Bay J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary & Josh Moore	164	p	/F7-45	105	110	83	—	—	—	+6	16.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Won off 70 on latest Flat start; good chance if transferring that form back to hurdles
3	Blue Hop Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:B F Brookhouse	J:Jack Quinlan T:B F Brookhouse	166	t	/P75-6	107	110	96	23d	—	—	+8	16.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ran encouragingly returned to hurdles on reappearance; may build on that effort
1	Douglas Dc Bay J:Freddie Gordon(5) T:Tony Carroll	J:Freddie Gordon(5) T:Tony Carroll	168	p	-82423	109	111	94	33d	—	—	+19	24.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Currently in a consistent vein of form but has something to prove back up in trip
13	Rubies Or Gold Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Christian Williams	J:Liam Harrison T:Christian Williams	147	t	856966	88	110	82	22d	—	—	+7	10.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Better was seemingly expected last time, only to seem a non-stayer over 3m
6	King Of The Lake Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	164	t	227-87	105	111	53	22d	—	—	+12	14.5	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Previously a consistent maiden but has lost his form

New trip may have positive effect as he stays well on the Flat
11	Walkinthewoods Bay J:Isabel Williams(3) T:Evan Williams	J:Isabel Williams(3) T:Evan Williams	153	—	248-09	94	111	42	47d	—	—	+9	11.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Well treated on best form but has been badly out of sorts since April
12	Kolisi Brown J:Gearoid Harney(7) T:David Pipe	J:Gearoid Harney(7) T:David Pipe	152	tp	4/22-8	93	109	93	40d	—	—	+9	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Nicely weighted on best form but needs to prove he retains peak ability
8	Reforme Bay J:James Bowen T:Tom Gretton	J:James Bowen T:Tom Gretton	162	—	443-87	103	108	57	17d	—	—	+12	13.7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Modest effort in Taunton handicap for new stable but may do better
