Needs to prove he can get the job done but he went close at Wincanton last month
9	Express Surprise Bay J:Ned Fox(3) T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Ned Fox(3) T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	159	t	37-253	89	-	-	72d	—	—	-1	14.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Placed in handicap hurdles and this point runner-up could improve now tackling fences
8	Kapamazov Bay J:Ben Poste T:James Evans	J:Ben Poste T:James Evans	159	p	435766	89	102	99	34d	—	—	0	14.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Hasn't run badly the last twice but now 0-12 & needs something extra from the cheekpieces
3	Pearl Island Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:Henry Daly	J:Stan Sheppard T:Henry Daly	165	b	5-53P1	95	102	46	34d	—	—	+3	14.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Won in 1st-time blinkers at Uttoxeter; strong claims if the headgear maintains its effect

Kept on for fifth on handicap/chase debut and firmly in calculations now back up in trip

Fair second at Fakenham and pedigree suggests this longer trip can prompt further progress
7	Mister Upton Bay J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Chris Gordon	J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Chris Gordon	161	p	-1441P	91	101	88	35d	—	—	+12	20	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Won at Hereford last month; flopped at Exeter 8 days later but that may have come too soon

Longstanding maiden but she may well have got off the mark last time but for bad mistake
1	Anytrixwilldo Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Richie McLernon T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	168	—	3-674P	98	100	95	57d	—	—	+10	15.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Close 4th at Hereford in November in his second chase but pulled up at Market Rasen since

Showed very little over hurdles but there was ability in points; could improve now chasing
