C&D maiden winner who has shown enough promise in handicaps to think he can defy this mark
2	Castle Carrock Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	168	—	1136-0	132	130	110	26d	—	—	+2	28.5	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Bumper/hurdle wins on first three starts and stiff tasks in defeat since; this is easier
4	Peacenik Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Katy Price	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Katy Price	159	—	1325-3	123	131	109	19d	—	—	+9	26.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Soft-ground winner who should be sharper since last month's return; enters the reckoning

Clear with progressive next-time-out winner when 2nd again latest, so 4lb rise justified

Three chase wins but latest Huntingdon third took his hurdle record to 0-14
