Lightly raced 10yo; respected off an attractive mark switched to a veterans' race
10	Gabbys Cross Bay J:Freddie Keighley(5) T:Nick Scholfield	J:Freddie Keighley(5) T:Nick Scholfield	146	p	2-043P	128	156	132	28d	—	—	+10	28.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Ran well in the latest final of this series; possibilities if taking to cheekpieces
5	Mister Coffey Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	158	p	225-20	140	154	127	78d	—	—	+13	26.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Has lots of useful form but is famously frustrating and still a maiden over fences
4	Eldorado Allen Grey J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	163	tp	05-134	145	153	131	41d	—	—	+18	26.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Form this season features a win in veterans' race; has good Newbury form; solid
8	Torn And Frayed Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Kevin Brogan T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	150	—	9-3122	132	156	149	78d	—	—	+15	22.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%

Successful in similar event on penultimate start; ideally needs a sound surface
3	Sam Brown Bay J:Chad Bament(7) T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Chad Bament(7) T:Anthony Honeyball	168	tb	416-60	150	154	120	14d	—	—	+21	26.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
14yo; won this race off 2lb higher last year; good chance if back on song
1	Capodanno Chestnut J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Neil Mulholland	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Neil Mulholland	170	t	/8P43-	152	155	118	371d	—	—	+24	29	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Smart for Willie Mullins but has been absent for a year; market helpful
