Won at Carlisle and he's been placed there in both subsequent runs; respected
16	Cher Monsieur Chestnut J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	147	—	90-354	79	99	62	44d	—	—	-10	14.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Has reached the frame in two of his four handicaps and he still has potential; in the mix
17	Laddie Cooper Mia Bay J:Joshua Thompson(7) T:Adam Nicol	J:Joshua Thompson(7) T:Adam Nicol	145	p	587-46	77	102	80	45d	—	0W/1P 1 run	-1	9.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
0-10 and was disappointing last time but has possibilities if she can bounce back
2	Aquitaine Boy Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Ruth Jefferson	J:Brian Hughes T:Ruth Jefferson	165	—	34-P5U	97	102	40	35d	—	—	+5	14.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%

0-10 under both codes but he's a possible improver on handicap hurdle debut; watch market

13	Reliance Kid Chestnut J:William Maggs(5) T:Andrew Wilson	J:William Maggs(5) T:Andrew Wilson	151	—	/27-99	83	96	80	46d	—	—	+6	9.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Tailed off in his three runs over hurdles but he could show a lot more now handicapping
4	Cher Tara Bay J:Callum Bewley T:Daragh Bourke	J:Callum Bewley T:Daragh Bourke	162	—	P63957	94	97	91	24d	—	—	+9	12.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
