6	Herakles Westwood Bay J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	148	—	442-21	124	151	118	30d	—	—	-4	28.5	0.44/1	7/4 36%
Won at Newbury (extended 2m7f) one month ago in his second chase; highly progressive
7	Myretown Bay J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	147	—	2F1-51	123	149	128	22d	—	—	+1	25.5	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Only two finished last time, but an appealing prospect for 3m and brings clear potential
5	Kyntara Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Mel Rowley	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Mel Rowley	151	—	222F-4	127	148	99	30d	—	—	+8	23.7	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Can build on his remote fourth to Herakles Westwood but others are higher up the list
3	Deafening Silence Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	157	—	/11-34	133	144	118	35d	—	—	+11	24.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Creditable third on chase debut but beaten 40l at Cheltenham next time; moves up in trip
2	Bhaloo Brown J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	158	—	41-21P	134	146	86	35d	—	—	+16	22.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Ran poorly over hurdles latest but promising to win on Ascot chase debut the time before
4	Gericault Roque Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	157	t	22/53/	133	146	-	783d	—	—	+17	22.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Plenty of form says he can win this but the 783 days off has to be a worry
NR	Johnnywho Brown J:TBC T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J: T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	164	t	84-133	140	143	124	28d	—	—	—	22.5	—	—
Two backward steps but there has been plenty which suggests 3m should be the making of him
