Won comfortably on the step up to 3m1f at Warwick (good; 5lb lower)
4	Destroytheevidence Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	164	p	2522-9	135	147	125	161d	—	—	+9	26.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Laboured when last seen but by and large his first season over fences went well
11	Ask Brewster Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	150	—	8P511-	121	143	116	178d	—	—	+23	38.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Looks a chaser on the upgrade if he can add consistency to his game
1	Light N Strike Bay J:James Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	J:James Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	168	—	2-133U	139	146	126	17d	—	—	+15	30.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Running well before an early departure in Ireland; entitled to have a say
12	The Boola Boss Chestnut J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	149	t	0P311-	120	142	116	189d	—	—	+26	39.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
More progressive than a typical 9yo chaser and he likes the track.
3	Pull Again Green Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	164	t	4-0112	135	141	121	36d	—	—	+15	23.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Raised another 2lb but looks sure to give his running and be competitive
9	Ballycamus Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	155	—	31P14-	126	142	104	198d	—	—	+24	30.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
On a high enough mark for this return and perhaps prefers softer ground as well
NR	Deep Cave b/br J:Kielan Woods T:Christian Williams	J:Kielan Woods T:Christian Williams	164	—	55461-	135	135	-	189d	—	—	—	31.3	—	—
1FF over fences in France so jumping has to be a nagging concern on this return to chasing
NR	Neon Moon Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	159	tb	3624-4	130	147	133	161d	—	—	—	20	—	—
Last year's winner, beating Pull Again Green off only 2lb higher on his reappearance
NR	Hoe Joly Smoke Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Dan Skelton	J:NON-RUNNER T:Dan Skelton	158	t	2151P-	129	143	128	168d	—	—	—	29.3	—	—
2lb above last winning mark; lightly raced still and fitness shouldn't be an issue
NR	Knockanore Bay J:Freddie Mitchell(5) T:Ryan Potter	J:Freddie Mitchell(5) T:Ryan Potter	156	p	33160-	127	146	122	168d	—	—	—	25.8	—	—
10lb higher than for his win in the Eider and he struggled twice afterwards
NR	Snipe Bay J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	153	p	83F4-4	124	148	136	26d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—
Capable chaser but has to rate a negative that Harry Skelton prefers Hoe Joly Smoke
NR	Gyenyame Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	144	b	61322-	115	147	137	200d	—	—	—	29.3	—	—
Capable chaser at the right level but probably needs easier races than this
