Highly progressive last season and still on a good mark; reappearance was over hurdles
8	Some Scope Bay J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Richard Hobson	J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Richard Hobson	142	t	124-P4	124	160	125	26d	—	—	+2	25.8	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Feather weight with Callum Pritchard taking off 7lb and this 6yo retains some potential
2	Tahmuras Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Paul Nicholls	J:Nick Scholfield T:Paul Nicholls	161	p	3122-5	143	156	141	33d	—	—	+14	27	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Good novice last season and ran as though the recent Haydock race would bring him on

Won last season's big hunter chase at Cheltenham in March; probably on a useful mark

Not as good as he was when winning this in 2021 but handicapped accordingly
4	Kinondo Kwetu Bay J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	156	t	112P55	138	156	135	12d	—	—	+20	26.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Dropped his guard of late and this is no easy race in which to regain the winning thread
1	Mr Incredible Bay J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	168	—	/2UP-P	150	152	106	222d	—	—	+23	25.9	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Enigmatic gelding who doesn't always fancy the challenge and ideally wants further
NR	Young Buster Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	150	tp	13P-25	132	156	129	61d	—	—	—	20.5	—	—
Respectable return to action at Kelso but the handicapper might now be in charge
