Went under over C&D in protracted tussle on chase debut; obvious chance despite 2lb rise.
3	Rock N Roll Champ ch Craig Nichol · Sandy Forster	Craig Nichol · Sandy Forster	159	—	86P45-	83	-	-	56d	—	—	-1	11.9	13/2 13%
Maiden pointer; hasn't achieved much in six starts over hurdles; rules chasing debut.
6	Deep Strato b Theo Gillard · Donald McCain	Theo Gillard · Donald McCain	155	t	/4PP4-	79	87	50	31d	—	—	-1	10.6	15/2 12%
Corbridge point winner (2m4f); essentially disappointing since switched to rules (0-8).
4	Time Was b Joe Williamson(3) · Philip Kirby	Joe Williamson(3) · Philip Kirby	158	p	5288-3	82	98	91	12d	—	—	+3	14.1	15/2 12%
Still seeking first win under rules (0-13) but has shown glimpses of ability; a possible.

0-15 under rules; fair hurdles form here; fences - pulled up twice previously - the risk.
2	Royal Deeside b Harry Reed · Patrick Morris	Harry Reed · Patrick Morris	163	—	6P357-	87	97	89	—	—	—	+6	12	16/1 6%
Mixed messages, mostly on the Flat, since joining this trainer; 0-3 over fences.
8	Chantilly Rose gr Peter Kavanagh(3) · Lizzie Quinlan	Peter Kavanagh(3) · Lizzie Quinlan	147	tp	3F005-	71	98	84	39d	—	—	+3	6.2	33/1 3%
12-race maiden; new headgear combination is tried; other runners are far more appealing.
NR	Classical Sting b Lewis Dobb(7) · L J Morgan	Lewis Dobb(7) · L J Morgan	168	p	388-	92	-	-	138d	—	—	—	12	—
Cheekpieces replace hood; bred to be suited by switch to fences, so needs market scrutiny.
