Hit with a 10lb hike for latest 19l win at Newbury, but he's a 6yo firmly on the up
2	Kap Boy Bay J:Tom Hutsby(3) T:Olly Murphy	J:Tom Hutsby(3) T:Olly Murphy	167	—	2-1339	119	125	116	89d	—	—	+9	25.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Perhaps handicapped on the high side but capable of having some say after a break
8	Balboa Bay J:Mr Jack Stenhouse(3) T:Seamus Mullins	J:Mr Jack Stenhouse(3) T:Seamus Mullins	154	—	857433	106	123	117	25d	—	—	+8	23.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter
9	Travis Wheatley Bay J:Rian Corcoran T:Adam Nicol	J:Rian Corcoran T:Adam Nicol	151	p	-4P681	103	120	114	17d	—	—	+15	26	1.63/1	13/2 13%
In the new cheekpieces he jumped well and won unchallenged at Newcastle; up 9lb
4	Nice One Eric Bay J:Elliott England T:Ben Pauling	J:Elliott England T:Ben Pauling	161	—	4871	113	119	99	46d	—	—	+18	28.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
This 5yo may need to be on a sharp upward curve if he's to defy this initial mark
3	Paso Doble Brown J:Mr Lucas Murphy(3) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Mr Lucas Murphy(3) T:Paul Nicholls	166	tp	-13293	118	122	90	54d	—	—	+21	27.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
His early-season form (2m3f-2m7f) offers encouragement off this mark
7	Thankyouandplease Bay J:Oscar Palmer T:Syd Hosie	J:Oscar Palmer T:Syd Hosie	156	—	07412U	108	115	99	25d	—	—	+16	23.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Unseated four out last time at Wincanton and in career-best form prior to that
6	Summergrounds Bay J:Mr Harvey James(5) T:Nicky Richards	J:Mr Harvey James(5) T:Nicky Richards	160	—	-52225	112	121	110	75d	—	—	+18	24.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last year's winner who goes well fresh, so a 75-day break is probably a good thing
10	Rickety Gate Bay J:Ella McGarry(3) T:Nicky Richards	J:Ella McGarry(3) T:Nicky Richards	142	—	-60334	94	119	103	26d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+11	15.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
It's never ideal being 5lb out of the weights in this competitive a handicap
