1	Isaac Des Obeaux Bay J:Angus Cheleda(5) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Angus Cheleda(5) T:Paul Nicholls	163	—	137-61	-	128	83	15d	—	—	-25	11.8	0.31/1	5/4 44%
Both wins here; it wasn't a strong race he won last time but the type to improve
NR	The Jukebox Man Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	J:Kielan Woods T:Ben Pauling	163	—	121-1	-	126	66	27d	—	—	-18	23.3	0.28/1	11/10 48%
Good value for his 5l winning margin in a 2m4f heavy-ground maiden at Ffos Las
9	Katate Dori Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Sam Thomas	J:Adam Wedge T:Sam Thomas	156	t	421-8	-	121	73	43d	—	—	-23	10.7	0.41/1	13/8 38%
Useful bumper form; made mistakes at Cheltenham and that was a tough starter over hurdles
15	Village Master Brown J:Paul O'Brien T:Warren Greatrex	J:Paul O'Brien T:Warren Greatrex	156	—	52	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	8.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Second in an Irish point and bought for £65,000; probably has a bright future
6	Haiti Couleurs Bay J:Ben Jones T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Ben Jones T:Rebecca Curtis	156	—	42/	-	-	-	—	—	—	+1	6.4	3.75/1	16 6%
His second in a point reads well but he has a long absence to overcome here
7	Highway One O Four Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	156	—	0-303	-	91	67	20d	—	—	-2	0.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Best run was in a Plumpton bumper and yet only four ran and he produced a modest RPR
10	Largy Valley Bay J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	156	—	P16-	-	-	-	247d	—	—	+4	7.1	6.00/1	25 4%
Bumper winner; kept hanging left at Hereford so this track can help on hurdling debut
13	Ri Na Cuirte Bay J:Sean Houlihan T:Ben Clarke	J:Sean Houlihan T:Ben Clarke	156	—	62-56	-	105	64	16d	—	—	-2	0.9	5.25/1	22 5%
Shown ability but ran flat at Wincanton last time and others are far more convincing
NR	Ballynaheer Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:David Dennis	J:Stan Sheppard T:David Dennis	156	—	U2-7	-	99	72	31d	—	—	-3	1.2	12.25/1	50 2%
Some promise at Chepstow (2m, heavy); non-runner there yesterday
NR	Storming Nelson Bay J:Lucy Gardner T:Sue Gardner	J:Lucy Gardner T:Sue Gardner	156	—	5P-658	-	99	44	29d	—	—	-1	0.5	16.25/1	66 2%
Beaten 20l+ in his completed points and nor did he show much in a novice at Exeter
12	Parliament Bay J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	156	—	—	-	76	58	32d	—	—	-1	0.4	16.25/1	66 2%
Flat winner in France; tailed off on hurdling debut following a long absence
5	Gentleman Chestnut J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	156	—	9	-	-	-	39d	—	—	-1	0.4	16.25/1	66 2%
Didn't show a great deal at a big price in a Chepstow bumper (2m, good to soft) in October
8	Jongleur D'Etoiles Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Neil Mulholland	J:Nick Scholfield T:Neil Mulholland	156	—	678	-	77	51	31d	—	—	-2	0.6	37.25/1	150 1%
Disappointing favourite in his bumper and has finished well behind in both hurdles
11	Meraki Mist Grey J:Conor Ring(3) T:Simon Earle	J:Conor Ring(3) T:Simon Earle	156	—	8/5P-	-	-	-	409d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.25/1	150 1%
200-1 when pulled up here more than a year ago after his jumping lacked fluency
NR	Can't Say br/gr J:James Davies T:Chris Down	J:James Davies T:Chris Down	156	—	/97/P/	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
No worthwhile form in three points and a bumper; impossible to recommend
