Two wins in 2024 and excuses since; tongue-tie and Harry Skelton return today; interesting
3	Bluegrass Bay J:Fergus Gillard T:Stuart Edmunds	J:Fergus Gillard T:Stuart Edmunds	158	tp	611P21	122	133	113	36d	—	—	+24	40.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Enhanced good Fakenham record when scoring bravely last time; cannot be dismissed
1	Givemefive Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	168	tp	-14031	132	133	101	35d	—	—	+25	38.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Personal best when making all at Newcastle five weeks ago; should go well again
2	Luttrell Lad Bay J:Cameron Iles(5) T:Tom Lacey	J:Cameron Iles(5) T:Tom Lacey	159	tp	406417	123	137	117	15d	—	—	+14	29.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Capitalised on reduced mark at Taunton and far from disgraced at Aintree; shortlisted
6	Schmilsson Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:Olly Murphy	J:Kevin Brogan T:Olly Murphy	148	p	-13454	112	135	107	40d	—	—	+7	22.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Below par since scoring at Wetherby in October; needs to be revitalised by cheekpieces
4	Oslo Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	154	p	-B33U6	118	132	110	—	—	—	+14	20.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Often let down by his jumping; potentially well handicapped but has something to prove
5	Well Educated Chestnut J:Jonathon Bewley T:George Bewley	J:Jonathon Bewley T:George Bewley	150	—	274365	114	134	123	151d	—	—	+15	18.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
