1	Pic Roc Chestnut J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	164	—	2122-F	132	-	-	63d	—	—	-10	35.9	0.23/1	10/11 52%
Smart novice hurdler; rather unlucky to come down on chase debut; lots of potential
3	Alcedo Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	153	—	/012P-	121	-	-	331d	—	—	+14	29.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Progressive hurdler and had excuses the final time; improvement to come now chasing
4	Denemethy Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	152	t	716-41	120	135	106	18d	—	—	+8	21.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
More needed than at Market Rasen but the potential is there to rate higher
2	Issam Bay J:Jordan Nailor T:Tom Symonds	J:Jordan Nailor T:Tom Symonds	158	t	01-463	126	-	-	25d	—	—	+10	22.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Not badly treated on peak hurdle form; perhaps lacks the same potential as some of these
5	Astronomic View Chestnut J:Lucy Gardner T:Sue Gardner	J:Lucy Gardner T:Sue Gardner	148	p	14-389	116	-	-	31d	—	—	+12	18.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Edged back down the weights ahead of this chasing debut but others are more intriguing
6	Wellwillya Grey J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Helen Nelmes	J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Helen Nelmes	145	p	-PP1P4	113	104	85	25d	—	—	+18	19.3	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Has won here over fences but he's a mile out of the weights on this occasion
