Had wind op ahead of stable debut; defied a similar mark on last season's reappearance
11	Chance A Tune b James Turner(10) · Nigel Twiston-Davies	James Turner(10) · Nigel Twiston-Davies	146	—	1432/3	108	134	79	13d	—	—	+5	22.5	7/2 22%
Long layoff prior to his third at Market Rasen; this comes only 13 days later

Has lost his way but has joined a new yard and he's potentially very well handicapped
5	Front View gr Jonjo O'Neill Jr · Jonjo Oneill	Jonjo O'Neill Jr · Jonjo Oneill	164	—	0/78U-	126	132	97	196d	—	—	+13	21.4	8/1 11%
Handy mark on best Irish form; his first start for this yard was a positive one
9	Get Back Get Back b Ben Bromley(5) · Harry Fry	Ben Bromley(5) · Harry Fry	158	t	42-863	120	135	102	19d	—	—	+11	20	17/2 11%
Likes tight tracks and dry ground, so this might not play to his strengths
8	Zambezi Fix gr Robert Williams(3) · Bernard Llewellyn	Robert Williams(3) · Bernard Llewellyn	159	—	21364-	121	132	99	168d	—	—	+15	26.3	17/2 11%
Does go well at this track but he doesn't win very often
6	Le Ligerien b Brendan Powell · Joe Tizzard	Brendan Powell · Joe Tizzard	163	t	11142-	125	-	-	168d	—	—	+29	35.5	16 6%
In form over fences for his new yard; returns to hurdling off what should be a good mark
2	Swaffham Bulbeck b Ciaran Gethings · Stuart Edmunds	Ciaran Gethings · Stuart Edmunds	168	—	521-51	130	127	94	36d	—	—	+16	21.4	16 6%
Up 6lb for his Southwell win and a slog in the mud around here might not be ideal
12	Platinumcard b Jack Tudor · David Pipe	Jack Tudor · David Pipe	144	t	2409-7	106	132	111	139d	—	—	+11	15.1	22 5%
Case can be made on old form but has been cold as ice in three runs for this yard
4	Not Available b Stan Sheppard · Matt Sheppard	Stan Sheppard · Matt Sheppard	164	tp	1141-P	126	-	-	165d	—	—	+16	20.1	20 5%
Better known as a chaser, albeit a quirky one; on a good mark if fancying the challenge
3	Mick Maestro b/br Charlie Hammond · Nick Kent	Charlie Hammond · Nick Kent	167	—	61103/	129	130	-	544d	—	—	+29	31.2	66 2%
Conditions fine for this return to hurdling but he's been a long while absent
10	Santana Plessis b Nick Scholfield · Christian Williams	Nick Scholfield · Christian Williams	155	—	/0U25/	117	-	-	783d	—	—	+19	19.8	150/1 1%
Had good form in Ireland but never prolific and was last seen over fences in August 2021
