Suited by drop to 6f when scoring at Leicester; may be capable of better yet; shortlisted

Won over this trip at Newcastle in January and has remained in form; in the mix once more

Below par this year but now down in grade; interesting in different headgear combination
2 (9)	Kodi Red b/br J:Paul Mulrennan T:Darryll Holland	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Darryll Holland	135	—	-56484	60	70	63	16d	—	—	-3	4.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Yet to find best form this season and needs to be revived by a return to turf
6 (1)	Gis A Sub Bay J:Jason Hart T:Paul Midgley	J:Jason Hart T:Paul Midgley	133	p	387-30	58	72	69	21d	—	—	-5	4.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Went close on reappearance at Wolverhampton and was hampered early next time; respected

Didn't give his running after awkward start last time but no surprise if he bounces back
9 (6)	Heroism Bay J:Connor Beasley T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Connor Beasley T:David & Nicola Barron	127	—	07-600	52	70	28	7d	—	—	-3	1.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
0-17 since debut win in August 2022; seems out of form and difficult to recommend
4 (3)	Ribble Radiant Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	134	—	960-28	59	71	58	25d	—	—	-2	3.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
0-10 since debut win over 7.4f; David Allan jumps ship; others preferred
11 (13)	Juryman Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	124	—	6070-9	49	69	62	25d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Long time since he showed his form but had excuse on reappearance and can't be discounted

Hard to predict on AW this winter, below par last two starts; record at Thirsk is poor

10yo; arrives here after two respectable runs at Redcar; each-way possibilities

Best efforts have come on Tapeta and his turf record (eight races) is not persuasive
13 (7)	Flavius Titus Chestnut J:Harrison Shaw T:Danny Brooke	J:Harrison Shaw T:Danny Brooke	123	b	9686-0	48	71	67	15d	—	—	-2	0.7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Veteran who was last of 11 at Newcastle on belated reappearance; others appeal more.

Strong-traveller who often goes close, placed over C&D two starts ago; high on the list
