2m course winner last spring and a good second on last month's handicap debut (2m3f)
5	Looking For Larry Bay J:Mr Jake Bament(7) T:Tim Dennis	J:Mr Jake Bament(7) T:Tim Dennis	162	—	6516/0	99	104	83	40d	—	—	-2	18.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Dead-heated here in 2023; a possible if November's reappearance run did him good
4	Paddys Island Brown J:Charlie Price(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	164	—	8-4163	101	105	92	86d	—	—	+3	16.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Placed over 2m2f on handicap debut in October and bred to be suited by this longer trip
10	Missy Mole Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	144	h	-28075	81	97	69	35d	—	—	0	12.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Never dangerous over 2m on handicap debut but may fare better over this longer trip
1	Danton Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	J:Bryan Carver T:Harry Fry	168	tp	PP2-4P	105	105	-	34d	—	—	+6	16.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
C&D winner; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove but current mark is workable
6	Drash On Ruby Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	157	t	3232/0	94	-	-	64d	—	—	+5	13.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Placed four times in 2022-23 season and probably needed her reappearance run in October
3	Thirtyfour Thirty Bay J:Miss Anna Johnston(7) T:Anthony Charlton	J:Miss Anna Johnston(7) T:Anthony Charlton	165	p	225929	102	102	80	20d	—	—	+13	19.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%

Well beaten on both starts (chase/hurdle) since returning from a long layoff
11	Of Corse I Can Grey J:Eddie Edge(7) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Eddie Edge(7) T:Neil Mulholland	143	h	00/7-P	80	102	-	34d	—	—	+5	8.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pulled up in November, after a long absence, and now 0-7 over hurdles
9	Instant De Bonheur Bay J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	147	—	5U87/9	84	-	24	26d	—	—	+7	9.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Tailed off over C&D last month, after a long layoff; others look much more likely

Looked out of sorts last season and returns from layoff with a lot to prove
