12l second on stable debut when soft ground perhaps wasn't ideal; could improve upon that

Clear second behind a highly progressive winner at Hexham on second chase start

Below par over hurdles on last 2 runs but this point winner may benefit from going chasing

Form dipped at Kelso 17 days ago but creditable runs in November in first two handicaps
5	Sunset Hill Grey J:Conor Rabbitt(3) T:Susan Corbett	J:Conor Rabbitt(3) T:Susan Corbett	169	—	0-4355	111	118	100	20d	—	—	+9	17.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Running respectably over fences at end of last year and not ruled out back down in grade

Inconsistent last year but Newcastle form-figures read 14121; could have a part to play
10	Swallows Song Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Iain Jardine	J:Sean Quinlan T:Iain Jardine	150	b	74-744	92	121	97	24d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+4	13.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Musselburgh fourth can be upgraded; could build on that run now going back left-handed

12yo; best finish for some time when going close at Musselburgh; runs off 7lb higher here

In a competitive race for chase debut but her two half-siblings both improved for fences

A return to form is needed but he's well treated and his southern trainer does well here

Mixed form this season but Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run
