#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
2	Following Chapter Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Alastair Ralph	J:Jonathan Burke T:Alastair Ralph	168	—	954-41	100	103	87	35d	—	—	-19	28.8	0.21/1	5/6 55%
Still looked green in front when winning at Warwick so could well cope with 8lb more
10	My Fortune Brown J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	158	—	0-65F4	90	101	72	25d	—	—	-1	14.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
May approve of this first crack at a handicap after struggling in novices over shorter
8	Shuil Ceoil Chestnut J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Neil Mulholland	166	v	25-032	98	103	91	26d	—	—	+3	15.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud
12	Catboy Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	144	—	0F87U0	76	100	69	35d	—	—	+1	8.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point
4	Moorland Rambler Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	167	p	1-7473	99	102	89	26d	—	—	+14	21.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Behind Shuil Ceoil last time at Exeter and wouldn't be certain to back that up
3	Windsor Blue Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	168	—	-46354	100	92	73	49d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+11	15.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
28-1 for handicap debut over C&D and there was no improvement in that run; down only 2lb
6	Times A Wastin Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Tony Carroll	J:Robert Dunne T:Tony Carroll	166	—	455775	98	103	82	46d	—	—	+8	13.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
He'll need more and this longer trip isn't an obvious positive on ground this slow
7	Moonlightinthepark Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Craig Nichol T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	166	t	2467	98	91	69	36d	—	—	+10	14.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
She's just the type who could raise her profile in handicaps; raised in distance
11	Getaway Sam Bay J:Ned Fox(5) T:Matt Sheppard	J:Ned Fox(5) T:Matt Sheppard	146	—	-U0P8P	78	99	58	23d	—	—	+5	7.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
9	Ocean Walz Bay J:Ben Poste T:Rosemary Gasson	J:Ben Poste T:Rosemary Gasson	160	—	/280-6	92	88	67	231d	—	—	+9	11.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Could raise his game now into handicaps but a lengthy absence is not ideal
5	Lion Of The Desert Bay J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	167	h	957309	99	99	75	18d	—	—	+12	14.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Not had a lot of racing and was perhaps stretched by 3m at Taunton last time
13	Outback Frontiers Chestnut J:Fern O'Brien(5) T:John O'Shea	J:Fern O'Brien(5) T:John O'Shea	142	p	05042P	74	93	68	73d	—	—	+7	8.5	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Returns to hurdling (dual winner) from 7lb out of the weights and that's not ideal
NR	Unleash The Beast Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Fergal O'Brien	J:NON-RUNNER T:Fergal O'Brien	168	—	6527-7	100	101	94	75d	—	—	—	12.5	—	—
Probably has to improve for the longer trip but pedigree offers hope in that respect
