Left Willie Mullins after below-par chase run in October; tough task under top weight here

Chasing hasn't really gone to plan this season; now back hurdling in cheekpieces

Eased-down winner at Uttoxeter this month but far too inconsistent to rely upon

Kept on well for 2m4f win this month; could have more to offer over today's longer trip

Very promising novice hurdler last season; quiet this term but still has potential
8	Surrey Quest Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Nicky Henderson	J:Paul O'Brien T:Nicky Henderson	154	tp	P7-344	126	145	-	22d	—	—	—	19	—	—
Yet to build upon his promising chase debut but has possibilities now back over hurdles
9	Bells Of Peterboro Grey J:William Kennedy T:Tim Vaughan	J:William Kennedy T:Tim Vaughan	154	—	422327	126	143	128	21d	—	—	—	26.5	—	—
Good second over C&D in December and also ran well at Sandown this month; respected
10	Top Of The Bill Bay J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	153	p	4-2141	125	138	113	24d	—	—	—	18.8	—	—
C&D winner in December and in even better form in first-time cheekpieces this month
11	Take Your Time Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	151	p	11PP-6	123	145	101	84d	—	—	—	18.3	—	—
Won two handicap hurdles in autumn 2021 (one over C&D) but seems to have lost his way
12	My Bobby Dazzler Bay J:Alex Edwards(3) T:Mel Rowley	J:Alex Edwards(3) T:Mel Rowley	150	—	437-P5	122	145	92	50d	—	—	—	18	—	—

13	The Kniphand Bay J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Finn Lambert(5) T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	148	—	225411	120	146	122	29d	—	—	—	35.5	—	—
2-2 since upped to 3m and switched to handicaps; could still have improvement to come
