NR	Treasure Dillon b NON-RUNNER · Evan Williams	NON-RUNNER · Evan Williams	154	p	-4P5P4	84	101	68	45d	—	—	—	8.5	—
No trace of winning hurdle form but has changes with trip and headgear; needs a close look
1	Grizzly James b Charlie Deutsch · Venetia Williams	Charlie Deutsch · Venetia Williams	168	—	5-3455	98	104	84	8d	—	—	—	12	—
No serious impact in Britain; over 2m lately and this is his first go beyond 2m4f
2	Starevitch b Gavin Sheehan · Jamie Snowden	Gavin Sheehan · Jamie Snowden	166	—	13/558	96	-	-	19d	—	—	—	11.5	—
Well held in novice hurdles; chase debut and goes beyond 2m3f for first time under rules
3	Jack Doyen b Conor O'Farrell · Ben Case	Conor O'Farrell · Ben Case	164	—	945P83	94	96	61	23d	—	—	—	13.3	—
Third of seven at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on latest start is something to build on
4	Born At Midnight b Harry Kimber(3) · Bill Turner	Harry Kimber(3) · Bill Turner	159	—	-121P3	89	104	91	34d	—	—	—	20.2	—
Soft ground was a plausible excuse on penultimate start; looks a leading player
6	Kestrel Valley b Richard Patrick · Kerry Lee	Richard Patrick · Kerry Lee	151	t	42-649	81	101	51	57d	—	—	—	7.8	—
Having headgear restored at Hereford at turn of the year did not spark a return to form
7	Mix Master b Kevin Brogan · Katy Price	Kevin Brogan · Katy Price	148	—	P3-008	78	-	-	19d	—	—	—	7	—
Has achieved little; switches to fences and makes handicap debut over 3m off a lowly mark
8	Fitzroy b William Kennedy · Sarah-Jayne Davies	William Kennedy · Sarah-Jayne Davies	147	b	PP-475	77	-	42	15d	—	—	—	6.8	—
Uncompetitive in his six starts for this yard; tumbling mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces
9	Old Page b Ben Poste · Aytach Sadik	Ben Poste · Aytach Sadik	143	—	5U7443	73	103	89	15d	—	—	—	8.5	—
Has had minor honours under rules but he's unconvincing for win purposes
