C&D winner on a useful mark and it was a good handicap he ran in last time at Taunton

Chequered record over fences continues last time but generally reliable over hurdles
9	Zhang Fei Bay J:Fern O'Brien(7) T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Fern O'Brien(7) T:Fergal O'Brien	155	—	415231	106	118	104	121d	—	—	+24	33	2.25/1	9/1 10%
This looks tougher after 5lb rise and record after a break isn't overly encouraging
5	Magic Seven Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	165	—	075130	116	120	92	130d	—	—	+18	25.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
4lb above last winning mark so needs to return from a break in top order
10	Plantaroma Bay J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	153	—	2243F2	104	123	111	33d	—	—	+14	22.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Mostly consistent but remains a maiden and only three ran when second at Ludlow

A Newton Abbot specialist who was tailed off at Taunton after a lengthy break
