Yet to tackle a Graded race but he's had something to spare for all three hurdle wins
2	Dark Raven br Daryl Jacob · W P Mullins	Daryl Jacob · W P Mullins	161	—	11/13	145	155	128	37d	—	—	—	23.8	—
Remains open to improvement but has work to do with stablemate Il Etait Temps
3	Diverge ch Mr P W Mullins · W P Mullins	Mr P W Mullins · W P Mullins	161	t	61	-	147	126	43d	—	—	—	10	—
Others have achieved more but the ceiling of his ability could lie at a lofty level
4	Doctor Bravo gr Davy Russell · Gordon Elliott	Davy Russell · Gordon Elliott	161	—	1213	140	149	106	24d	—	—	—	38	—
Behind 2 class acts in the Red Mills; this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer
5	Facile Vega b Paul Townend · W P Mullins	Paul Townend · W P Mullins	161	—	1-1115	155	161	132	37d	—	—	—	33.3	—
Disconcerting he flopped last time but strong claims if rediscovering earlier star promise
6	Fennor Cross b Simon Torrens · John C Mcconnell	Simon Torrens · John C Mcconnell	161	—	311	134	136	104	121d	—	—	—	39.5	—
Won the Grade 2 Supreme Trial here in November but it wasn't a great race for the grade
7	High Definition b J J Slevin · Joseph Patrick Obrien	J J Slevin · Joseph Patrick Obrien	161	—	1U	-	145	123	37d	—	—	—	5.5	—
Classy on the Flat; plenty of potential in this code but there's a worry about his jumping
8	Il Etait Temps gr Danny Mullins · W P Mullins	Danny Mullins · W P Mullins	161	h	5-4121	155	165	139	37d	—	—	—	26.3	—

Second to Il Etait Temps latest; this stiff track could help but he has about 10l to find
10	Marine Nationale b Michael O'Sullivan · Barry Connell	Michael O'Sullivan · Barry Connell	161	—	1111	150	158	129	100d	—	—	—	50	—
Did well to win the Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse and he could be a key player
11	Palace Boy b Paddy Brennan · Fergal Obrien	Paddy Brennan · Fergal Obrien	161	—	162	125	135	116	30d	—	—	—	28.8	—
Won at Chepstow in October but beaten twice since and would be a shock winner today
12	Rare Edition b Sam Twiston-Davies · Charlie Longsdon	Sam Twiston-Davies · Charlie Longsdon	161	—	1-1112	138	151	133	33d	—	—	—	29	—
Limitations apparently exposed at Huntingdon latest but earlier Kempton win is strong form
13	Strong Leader b Sean Bowen · Olly Murphy	Sean Bowen · Olly Murphy	161	—	12111	133	141	123	44d	—	—	—	45.8	—
3-3 over hurdles; classier rivals here but difficult to pin down the limit of his ability
14	Tahmuras b Harry Cobden · Paul Nicholls	Harry Cobden · Paul Nicholls	161	—	21-111	142	153	123	66d	—	—	—	23	—
Won the Grade 1 Tolworth and the stiff finish up the hill should be right up his street
