Long odds-on when he scrambled home last time but he's better than that; key player

Dual hurdles winner; 12lb penalty to contend with but still a leading contender
4	Lifetime In Milan Bay J:Freddie Gordon T:Chris Gordon	J:Freddie Gordon T:Chris Gordon	156	—	4/1-P4	-	77	65	17d	—	—	+5	7.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pulled up on hurdles debut and beaten 50l last time; needs considerable improvement
5	West Along Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Richard Rowe	J:Tom Cannon T:Richard Rowe	156	—	4326	-	80	53	17d	—	—	+3	5.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Promising second in bumper here before an underwhelming hurdles debut; still early days
3	Le Flying Ferret Bay J:James Davies T:Nick Gifford	J:James Davies T:Nick Gifford	156	—	558	-	85	55	42d	—	—	-1	0.2	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Would be a surprise winner based on his moderate form in a bumper and two hurdle races
6	Cast's Georgie Bay J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	149	—	77	-	77	-	19d	—	—	-1	0.2	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Tailed off in two novice hurdles (soft and heavy); unlikely
