The pick on form; did not reproduce it when 2-5 latest but should stay this longer trip
4	The Doyen Chief Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	163	—	11-21U	123	127	73	16d	—	—	-2	27.1	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Work to do when he unseated 16 days ago; previous form makes him a leading contender
1	Centara Brown J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	163	—	1P-41	-	109	63	38d	—	—	-17	7.3	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Far from the finished article but won both appearances at Taunton and can do better
10	Tiny Tetley Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	156	—	39	-	112	91	49d	—	—	-3	4.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Hood is removed; upped in trip but needs to leave his latest run (on soft) way behind him
3	Jupiter Allen Chestnut J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	163	—	163-80	109	109	73	25d	—	—	+11	16.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Beaten 33l in a handicap last time and needs major overall improvement
9	Super Sabre Sam Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	156	—	6F	-	105	-	38d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
66-1 over C&D but mounting a challenge and almost upsides Centara when falling at the last
6	Hidalgo Des Bordes Bay J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	156	—	F/52-0	-	-	-	9d	—	—	-1	0.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Irish point second; 624 days off when remote at Fontwell (2m3f, soft; 80-1) nine days ago
5	Captain Marco Grey J:Sean Houlihan T:Mitchell Hunt	J:Sean Houlihan T:Mitchell Hunt	156	—	85	-	100	77	82d	—	—	-1	0.4	25.00/1	100/1 1%
While this step up in trip should suit, he has no serious form claims
7	J'Attendrai Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Matt Sheppard	J:Richard Patrick T:Matt Sheppard	156	—	9	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Well related but tailed off in an Irish maiden point (3m, good) last May
