4	Seaview Rock Bay J:Ben Sutton(5) T:Olly Murphy	J:Ben Sutton(5) T:Olly Murphy	165	h	3/21	117	117	90	32d	—	—	+2	26.1	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Unexposed maiden winner; hard to assess and the market could be instructive
3	The Gray Ghost Grey J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	165	t	-64544	117	123	104	20d	—	—	+6	21.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Something to prove over quite this sharp a trip but definite chance if copes with it
1	Baratablet Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Nicky Richards	J:Brian Hughes T:Nicky Richards	168	—	131-14	120	123	114	54d	—	—	+8	21.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
3-6 over hurdles; better than he showed at Kelso latest but surprising to see him at 2m1f
6	That One Bay J:Callum Bewley T:James Walton	J:Callum Bewley T:James Walton	161	—	121-26	113	118	106	18d	—	—	+9	18.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Dual winner; only sixth at Carlisle latest and this is a stronger race than that day
2	Saracen Beau Grey J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	168	—	/1P3-2	120	116	52	117d	—	—	+16	25	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Second on chase debut in October; back with Nicky Richards and returned to hurdling
8	The Hatchet Bay J:Jack Power(5) T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J:Jack Power(5) T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	161	—	47-136	113	117	98	20d	—	—	+9	18.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Handicap debut was underwhelming but that was over 2m4f and perhaps this is his trip
9	Party In The Park Bay J:William Maggs(5) T:Ann Hamilton	J:William Maggs(5) T:Ann Hamilton	151	t	23655	103	118	117	18d	—	—	+9	17.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Has shown enough in his hurdle races to believe he can make a mark in handicaps
7	Cormier Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Brian Ellison	J:Craig Nichol T:Brian Ellison	161	—	/06-74	113	116	99	70d	—	—	+12	17	5.00/1	20/1 5%
It's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps
5	Fromheretoeternity Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	163	tp	4-3254	115	121	116	27d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+14	17.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Beaten about 10l into fourth last time at Sedgefield and this is no easier
