Fair fifth in the Morebattle last time and this step back up in trip is worth a go

Ran well for a long way in the Martin Pipe when back from an absence; possible player

Looked one to follow when winning in January but two lesser runs have followed

Won in big field at Uttoxeter latest and this in-form 10yo could play another leading role
5	Irish Hill Grey J:Jay Tidball(5) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Jay Tidball(5) T:Paul Nicholls	160	p	P12314	133	141	136	27d	—	—	+27	34.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
In good form since these cheekpieces went back on last November; might not be far away
4	I Love My Baie Bay J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	161	—	1813-4	134	140	126	305d	—	—	+16	22.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Returns from absence but this unexposed 7yo has potential if retaining previous promise
2	Thunder Rock Bay J:Lewis Saunders(7) T:Olly Murphy	J:Lewis Saunders(7) T:Olly Murphy	166	p	P-P444	139	139	109	20d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+19	23.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
