1	Service Minimum Chestnut J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	168	—	140747	105	109	89	42d	—	—	-23	33.8	0.14/1	4/7 64%
Both wins on good ground and latest run on soft wasn't too bad an effort
2	Roaring Home Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	166	—	-242P5	103	109	84	73d	—	—	0	22.4	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Mostly consistent; after a wind op she ran well in a competitive Haydock handicap
6	Voodoo Angel Bay J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Donald McCain	J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Donald McCain	152	p	342233	89	109	100	33d	—	—	+13	21.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Consistent but her best form in Britain has been over shorter and she has tried this far
3	Eastern Shores Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	164	ht	467332	101	100	74	54d	—	—	+13	24.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Lightly raced and has improved for the fitting of this headgear in her last three races
7	Nevershedatear Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Robert Dunne T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	144	h	1-577U	81	91	61	12d	—	—	+11	16	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Had lost her position before saddle slipped on handicap debut at Sedgefield; now hooded
5	Morning Air Bay J:Ned Fox(3) T:Venetia Williams	J:Ned Fox(3) T:Venetia Williams	158	p	15F-60	95	106	67	25d	—	—	+9	12.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Offered little back over hurdles following a break of 226 days; now goes in cheekpieces
4	Rock On Cassie Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Richard Armson	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Richard Armson	159	—	47/P5P	96	98	56	32d	—	—	+10	12.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Won a maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in 2022 but steadily on the decline ever since
