Probably his best run yet when runner-up at Kempton, finishing just ahead of Diyaken
8	Red Rubio Chestnut J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	156	—	1-44	106	119	107	36d	—	—	+4	28.3	0.75/1	3/1 25%
He's not the easiest to weigh up, but goes handicapping at a modest level here
6	Sun Art Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	157	—	1-3453	107	114	81	28d	—	—	+13	24.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Jumping has been an issue in his two runs over fences; novice winner in this sphere
5	Fight My Fire Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	157	—	U134P4	107	116	108	29d	—	—	+9	18.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
It wasn't a bad run off 2lb higher here last time; shouldn't be far away
9	Phoenix Risen Chestnut J:Chad Bament(7) T:Jeremy Scott	J:Chad Bament(7) T:Jeremy Scott	156	b	6-3215	106	119	108	41d	—	—	+8	16.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
This might not be quite so demanding as the Exeter race he contested last time
1	Diyaken Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Jim & Suzi Best	J:Richie McLernon T:Jim & Suzi Best	167	t	1/2/3	117	121	96	24d	—	—	+22	30.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Returning from 1221 days off when finishing right behind Wild Goose at Kempton
4	Benvoy Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jo Davis	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jo Davis	164	tp	6891PP	114	115	86	41d	—	—	+14	20.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Hard to predict and another change of headgear is tried; risky
7	Grey Skies Grey J:Theo Gillard T:Donald McCain	J:Theo Gillard T:Donald McCain	157	t	311306	107	118	80	137d	—	—	+18	21.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Form dipped in last two races, at Cheltenham then Carlisle where he should have run better
3	The Tide Turns Chestnut J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Stephen Allen	J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Stephen Allen	164	tp	F/0/PP	114	-	-	161d	—	—	+15	16.3	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Left Gordon Elliott cheaply and twice pulled up since returning from his long absence
