Very lightly raced 8yo who won 14-runner Hexham handicap chase last month; respected
4	A Moments Madness Bay J:Henry Brooke T:Warren Greatrex	J:Henry Brooke T:Warren Greatrex	157	—	2-4C3	109	-	-	28d	—	—	+7	23	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Looked very promising when placed in novice hurdle last month; chase/handicap debut today
6	Leading Force Bay J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	156	tp	-12974	108	122	113	38d	—	—	+9	21.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Won a chase at start of this season but has not yet built on that performance
8	Leitrim Chief Chestnut J:Brian Hughes T:James Ewart	J:Brian Hughes T:James Ewart	149	—	4543-4	101	125	113	32d	—	—	+4	16.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
0-8 under rules but current mark is workable if all goes to plan
7	Halpha Soleil Chestnut J:Emma Smith-Chaston(3) T:Micky Hammond	J:Emma Smith-Chaston(3) T:Micky Hammond	150	—	62-418	102	119	103	36d	—	—	+7	15.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Dual hurdle winner; made just a mildly encouraging chase debut; improvement required
5	Reilly Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	156	p	/264/5	108	121	-	32d	—	—	+8	17	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Ran well to a point after a long layoff and is very well handicapped on old form
1	Coqolino Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Ben Haslam	J:Richie McLernon T:Ben Haslam	168	t	58P223	120	123	113	39d	—	—	+21	28	3.00/1	12/1 8%
0-15 over fences but ended last year with three good efforts; likely contender again here
2	Quick Sharpener Bay J:Charlie Hammond T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	J:Charlie Hammond T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	161	t	5171/P	113	-	-	90d	—	—	+11	17.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Ran as though something amiss on chase debut in October after long absence; wind op since
