8	Both Barrels Chestnut J:Craig Nichol T:Donald Whillans	J:Craig Nichol T:Donald Whillans	152	—	/4321-	113	130	123	262d	—	—	+15	37.4	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Returns from absence but brings staying potential to this reappearance; player if tuned up
10	Adveram Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Ian Duncan	J:Brian Hughes T:Ian Duncan	142	p	33-142	103	124	103	19d	—	—	-1	19.4	0.88/1	7/2 22%
4lb out of the handicap but progressive form this season and could be in the shake-up
7	Forged Well Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Martin Todhunter	J:Sean Quinlan T:Martin Todhunter	152	—	26-312	113	126	103	25d	—	—	+4	20.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Progressive at the end of last year and this longer trip could prompt further improvement
6	Gaillimh A Stor Bay J:Danny McMenamin T:N W Alexander	J:Danny McMenamin T:N W Alexander	155	t	F3F3/3	116	130	66	25d	—	—	+12	22.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Returned from absence with mighty third at Kelso last month and could be a factor
4	Hazy Glen Grey J:Jamie Hamilton T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Michael & David Easterby	161	—	6223-1	122	128	100	29d	—	—	+18	32	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Won on handicap debut at Haydock; new trip today but he's unexposed and promising
1	Wakool Grey J:Dominic Hislop(10) T:N W Alexander	J:Dominic Hislop(10) T:N W Alexander	168	t	2069-4	129	131	106	61d	—	—	+14	21.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
He continues to drop down the weights but for good reason; needs to turn things around
2	O'Toole Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	166	t	43/12/	127	130	-	698d	—	—	+16	20.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Absent since February 2023 but second in Grade 2 novice chase back then; watch the betting
9	Coventry Bay J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Lisa Harrison	J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Lisa Harrison	145	—	89-626	106	130	94	12d	—	—	+12	14.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Step back in the right direction at Carlisle in October but heavy defeat at Haydock since
3	Pinot Rouge Chestnut J:Nathan Moscrop T:Susan Corbett	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Susan Corbett	166	p	14-36P	127	126	-	25d	—	—	+17	20.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Reverts to hurdles and she won a Listed mares' novice hurdle last March; not ruled out
5	Theme Tune Bay J:Bruce Lynn T:N W Alexander	J:Bruce Lynn T:N W Alexander	156	p	115/6-	117	130	56	424d	—	—	+15	17.2	16.50/1	66/1 1%
