Still has fairly low mileage and a chance that he'll stay this far; Cobden booked
8	Axel Bleue bl J:Sean Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	J:Sean Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	159	t	112122	108	115	75	23d	—	—	+19	36.5	4/1 20%
A point and dual bumper winner; beaten at shortish odds in two 2m7f novices but ran well
11	Jack Sprat b J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	155	p	1064-2	104	119	87	11d	—	—	+8	22.9	9/2 18%
Back to form when second at Bangor and the winner has since followed up
3	Twist Of Fatecatch b J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	166	p	21-325	115	116	102	131d	—	—	+11	18.2	11/1 8%
Saw out the new trip of 2m7f when beaten 6.5l at Uttoxeter in June
1	Ebony Warrior br J:Kielan Woods T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	J:Kielan Woods T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	168	t	2231-U	117	116	103	185d	—	—	+12	18.6	12/1 8%
Evens off this mark at Worcester in May and still in the mix when departing
5	Striking A Pose b J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	164	b	4-1628	113	120	80	20d	—	—	+11	17.5	14/1 7%
He can be good, bad and indifferent, but has a big effort in him off this mark
9	Island Run b J:Callum Pritchard(5) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Callum Pritchard(5) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	158	p	43/22-	107	-	-	540d	—	—	+9	16.2	12/1 8%
Running well when last seen but an absence of 540 days has to temper enthusiasm
4	Gwash b J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	165	—	5-6628	114	117	106	52d	—	—	+12	17.6	14/1 7%
Hasn't been the easiest to predict but did go close over this far in his penultimate race
7	Diamatiste b J:Ben Godfrey T:Kayley Woollacott	J:Ben Godfrey T:Kayley Woollacott	163	—	/4251-	112	115	107	259d	—	—	+24	29.4	20/1 5%
Heavy-ground winner here in February; effectively 14lb higher and lacks a recent run
10	Stratton Oakmont b J:Jack Tudor T:Kayley Woollacott	J:Jack Tudor T:Kayley Woollacott	156	—	3PP64-	105	122	119	206d	—	—	+10	15	22/1 4%
Had wind op since last seen; C&D winner on a fair mark and any rain welcomed
6	I'm A Starman ch J:Toby McCain-Mitchell(5) T:Mark Rimell	J:Toby McCain-Mitchell(5) T:Mark Rimell	164	p	115773	113	123	106	17d	—	—	+17	22	25/1 4%
Hasn't looked that well handicapped since rattling off a four-timer earlier this year
14	Edgewell b J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Scholfield	J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Scholfield	147	—	120-53	96	121	61	151d	—	—	+9	12.5	25/1 4%
Signed off for previous yard on a low note and was sold on for 6,500gns
2	Champagne Chic b J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	168	p	6140-	117	115	68	197d	—	—	+20	22.6	40/1 2%
Still lightly raced and there's stamina in the pedigree, so may come good again
12	Gingerbred ch J:Sean Houlihan T:Carroll Gray	J:Sean Houlihan T:Carroll Gray	155	—	223/3-	104	-	-	374d	—	—	+15	17.1	50/1 2%
Not hard to have reservations given his absence and this return to hurdling
