Useful Flat winner but ordinary form over hurdles; down in trip and cheekpieces back on
2	My My My Delilah Bay J:TBC T:Stuart Coltherd	J: T:Stuart Coltherd	168	—	22-653	100	94	73	35d	—	—	—	12.5	—	—

Early promise but last three efforts have been disappointing; something to prove
4	Little Ledgend Bay J:TBC T:Olly Murphy	J: T:Olly Murphy	167	—	7-0542	99	104	84	21d	—	—	—	12.3	—	—
Made a respectable handicap debut at Windsor and now downgraded over a longer trip
5	Newport Bay J:TBC T:Iain Jardine	J: T:Iain Jardine	164	—	540313	96	99	92	23d	—	—	—	23	—	—
Musselburgh win latest was a first in 16 hurdles starts; not long with current handler.
6	Rukaana Grey J:TBC T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J: T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	164	—	-24561	96	101	85	10d	—	—	—	22.5	—	—
Would probably have preferred a stronger pace to chase when sixth at Taunton last month
7	Platin Moon Bay J:TBC T:N W Alexander	J: T:N W Alexander	163	—	52-465	95	103	88	28d	—	—	—	11.3	—	—
Good sixth at Ayr latest; interesting with this return to shorter promising to suit
8	She's Notjoeking Bay J:TBC T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J: T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	162	—	P-4434	94	106	92	13d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Just 1-11 over hurdles but was second in this last year and also ran well last month
9	Magic Gloves Brown J:TBC T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J: T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	160	—	21-344	92	99	85	34d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Bought £42,000 after Irish point win; promise over hurdles; down in trip on handicap debut
10	Character Testing Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	160	—	4-847F	92	103	79	10d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Never figured last time after a wind operation and he's moved yards for 5,500gns since
11	Sam's Falcon Chestnut J:TBC T:Dianne Sayer	J: T:Dianne Sayer	159	—	560-P8	91	80	74	16d	—	—	—	10.3	—	—
Jumped poorly on handicap chase debut but offered some promise over hurdles last season
12	Scots Poet Bay J:TBC T:Ewan Whillans	J: T:Ewan Whillans	157	—	5F3447	89	113	91	20d	—	—	—	10.4	—	—
Maiden chaser (0-7) and will need to step up on his three efforts since a break
13	Cap Ricochet Bay J:TBC T:John Dawson	J: T:John Dawson	154	—	U62-40	86	102	75	72d	—	—	—	9	—	—

Three Flat wins in France; yet to win over jumps; below par this term; cheekpieces tried

1m2f winner; this might be easier than at Cartmel last time when he hit the last
16	National Question Brown J:TBC T:Adam Nicol	J: T:Adam Nicol	148	—	4-5125	80	99	95	20d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Ran quite well at Sedgefield last time given soft was probably not ideal for him
17	Wor Lad Bay J:TBC T:Donald Whillans	J: T:Donald Whillans	146	—	/9P5-3	78	101	59	28d	—	—	—	10	—	—
