9	Cecilia Star b Tom Cannon · Lucy Wadham	Tom Cannon · Lucy Wadham	147	—	5	-	109	91	25d	—	—	-15	6.2	11/4 27%
Fairly useful Flat form and not beaten far on her switch to hurdles at Kempton; player
6	Love You Back ch Caoilin Quinn · Gary & Josh Moore	Caoilin Quinn · Gary & Josh Moore	154	—	2	-	107	107	115d	—	—	-10	11.2	11/4 27%
Flat winner over 1m4f; the form of his second at Warwick has worked out well
4	Ettore b Nico de Boinville · Nicky Henderson	Nico de Boinville · Nicky Henderson	154	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-13	5.2	4/1 20%
0-4 on the Flat; joined a leading yard for jumps action but that's the principal positive
2	Mojito Des Mottes b Ben Jones · Ben Pauling	Ben Jones · Ben Pauling	160	t	1-24	120	107	63	85d	—	—	+14	28.9	5/1 17%
French winner; underwhelming so far in Britain and a BHA mark of 120 looks flattering
1	Innamorato gr Harry Cobden · Paul Nicholls	Harry Cobden · Paul Nicholls	160	p	43841	117	111	81	15d	—	—	+17	32.1	9/2 18%

8	Rogue Justice b Sean Bowen · Jack Jones	Sean Bowen · Jack Jones	154	p	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.6	25/1 4%
It was a low-grade 2m AW handicap he won last month; others appeal more
5	Laplander b Dylan Johnston · Tom Ward	Dylan Johnston · Tom Ward	154	—	64	-	99	90	20d	—	—	-2	0.9	33/1 3%
Flat maiden and beaten 22l and 64l in two races over hurdles at this track
3	Bowling Shane b Richard Patrick · Clive Boultbee-Brooks	Richard Patrick · Clive Boultbee-Brooks	154	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	50/1 2%
Best of his four Flat runs was a fourth of nine on the AW (1m4f novice; fair form)
