12	The Big Reveal Chestnut J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	156	p	-124F1	96	114	91	30d	—	—	+9	30.1	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Game C&D winner a month ago and likely to go well again despite the 6lb rise
6	Express Surprise Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	165	t	3-3114	105	115	106	56d	—	—	-1	23.1	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Didn't run at all badly in a Class 3 last time and considered back at this level
8	Call Me Arthur Chestnut J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	163	—	19-41F	103	112	87	31d	—	—	+1	18.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
10lb higher than for his January win but only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton
7	Always Busy Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	165	—	144F35	105	114	94	43d	—	—	+9	17.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Below his best but hasn't run badly in two races after a break; Jack Tudor is back aboard
11	Check The Score Bay J:Jack Hogan T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jack Hogan T:Fergal O'Brien	160	p	/381-2	100	114	76	41d	—	—	+12	19.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Latest run over hurdles and 1-1 over fences; has a bit to prove on ground this soft
10	Better Off Alone Bay J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	J:James Best T:Martin Keighley	162	p	2-PP34	102	113	100	29d	—	—	+12	18.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
The third at Uttoxeter was encouraging and 1m7f would have been too sharp last time
9	Annie Express Bay J:Charlie Price T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Charlie Price T:Robbie Llewellyn	162	v	/4-15P	102	114	88	29d	—	—	+9	14.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since
5	Handin Manypockets Bay J:Paddy Hanlon(5) T:Syd Hosie	J:Paddy Hanlon(5) T:Syd Hosie	165	—	3435	109	-	-	17d	—	—	+14	19.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Ran well at Cheltenham three runs back; now goes chasing with low mileage on the clock
4	Ithaka Bay J:Freddie Mitchell(3) T:Ryan Potter	J:Freddie Mitchell(3) T:Ryan Potter	165	t	2-321P	105	114	91	23d	—	—	+14	18.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Running well prior to latest run over 3m6f; soft ground is a cause for concern
3	Fern Hill Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Ben Case	J:Jack Quinlan T:Ben Case	165	—	115254	105	113	91	24d	—	—	+16	19.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
His form has dipped and he was last to complete at Huntingdon most recently
2	Fuji Flight Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	165	b	3-444P	105	114	105	42d	—	—	+13	16.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
On a career-low mark but very evident that he's not the force of old; tries blinkers
NR	Captain Boudet Grey J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	J:Rex Dingle T:Jeremy Scott	167	tb	1-72P3	107	114	104	40d	—	—	—	21.3	—	—
Last two runs have been poor but this dual chase winner has a big effort in him
