Escapes a penalty for last week's easy win at Carlisle so an obvious contender
1	French Emperor b J:James Bowen T:Nicky Martin	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Martin	168	—	3/337-	108	105	85	279d	—	—	+4	21.6	5/1 17%
Makes handicap debut after quite an absence but probably has a future
2	Stroll On By b J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	168	—	22-125	108	110	90	46d	—	—	+9	16.6	10/1 9%
Dual chase winner but his good runs back from an absence were over hurdles
4	Lucky Bere b J:Harry Cobden T:Kayley Woollacott	J:Harry Cobden T:Kayley Woollacott	167	—	2233-	108	104	62	228d	—	—	+17	26.3	10/1 9%
Two Flat wins in France; not beaten that far in all four races over hurdles; had wind op
3	Douglas Dc b J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Tony Carroll	J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Tony Carroll	167	p	39-342	107	112	69	26d	—	—	+9	16.2	11/1 8%
Stuck on a losing run but has to warrant a second look after his recent second over C&D
14	Aquifolia b J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	147	—	852724	88	103	94	30d	—	—	+12	15.5	25/1 4%
Runner-up in two of her last five races, one of those a handicap; remains a maiden
9	Farhh Echo b J:Beau Morgan(5) T:D J Jeffreys	J:Beau Morgan(5) T:D J Jeffreys	160	—	4P-954	101	106	63	90d	—	—	+10	13.8	33/1 3%
Didn't go unbacked when beaten under 4l in a maiden here during the summer
8	Our Dylan b J:Ben Godfrey T:Kayley Woollacott	J:Ben Godfrey T:Kayley Woollacott	162	—	21626-	102	109	101	230d	—	—	+17	21.6	33/1 3%
More exposed than some in here but dependable in the main and can go well when fresh
12	L'Empire Vert b J:Sean Houlihan T:Sheila Lewis	J:Sean Houlihan T:Sheila Lewis	152	t	P7528-	92	107	85	189d	—	—	+12	14.4	50/1 2%
Close up at Ffos Las in March but balance of form casts some doubts
7	El Gavilan b J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	162	t	52325-	103	105	96	182d	—	—	+17	20.7	33/1 3%
Promising after arriving from France and possibly failed to stay 2m3f on handicap debut
11	Secret Vino b J:Jack Andrews(3) T:T Ellis	J:Jack Andrews(3) T:T Ellis	153	h	05P-7	93	96	23	37d	—	—	+9	11.5	50/1 2%
Makes his handicap debut in a first-time hood but others have more convincing claims
13	Amazing Cleni gr J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	152	t	46807-	92	97	52	180d	—	—	+9	11.1	66/1 1%
Has looked limited so far but treated accordingly for his handicap debut
6	Hidol Du Livet br J:Lee Edwards T:Dave Roberts	J:Lee Edwards T:Dave Roberts	163	—	4/513/	103	108	-	855d	—	—	+11	14	50/1 2%
Course maiden winner; changed yards during his long absence and probably best watched
10	Quinn's Reward b J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	159	—	79465-	99	106	65	189d	—	—	+10	13	50/1 2%
Modest enough form thus far but might well raise his profile now into handicaps
