#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
9	Flash In The Park Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	155	t	683-51	107	128	114	26d	—	—	-11	26	0.41/1	13/8 38%
Front two clear when edging home over C&D latest so a 4lb rise seems fair enough
4	Heros De Romay Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey	J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey	168	—	/133-4	120	118	60	16d	—	—	+7	21.9	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Bumper/maiden winner; got tired on chase debut but ran well to a point; respected
7	Taras Halls Bay J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	158	p	020-54	110	128	103	19d	—	—	+5	19	1.38/1	11/2 15%
This is more realistic than taking on Caldwell Potter in a novice chase at Carlisle
3	Ostend Bay J:David Noonan T:Alastair Ralph	J:David Noonan T:Alastair Ralph	168	—	1/57-7	120	119	104	37d	—	—	+14	25.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Ex-Irish; two sevenths but for this yard but both runs encouraging, latest his chase debut
8	Knockanore Bay J:Daryl Jacob T:Ryan Potter	J:Daryl Jacob T:Ryan Potter	156	p	F4-562	108	123	107	24d	—	—	+7	17.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Second at Southwell behind one who was completing a four-timer; in the mix
6	Clonakilty Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	164	tp	1216-P	116	126	113	51d	—	—	+12	18.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Nothing positive to take from his last two runs but he's capable of bouncing back
1	The Flier Begley Bay J:Ben Bromley(5) T:Gary Hanmer	J:Ben Bromley(5) T:Gary Hanmer	170	—	06311P	122	123	106	30d	—	—	+25	31	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Back up the weights for two wins and stopped quickly last time; others appeal more
2	Seefin Bay J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	169	—	121P0-	121	-	-	251d	—	—	+22	26.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Progressive hurdler last season until highly tried; 3m would be preferred on chase debut

Maiden hurdle winner; well beaten last twice but low mileage and now goes chasing
NR	What A Time Bay J:James Best T:Sarah-Jayne Davies	J:James Best T:Sarah-Jayne Davies	142	—	/652/P	94	-	-	26d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Ex-Irish; 125-1 when pulled up in Flash In The Park's race here last month; 6lb wrong
