4	Inthewaterside Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	162	—	4123-3	132	-	-	28d	—	—	+5	31.5	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Hood off; has a bit further to go and it's also his chase debut but he brings potential
3	Menaggio Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	162	—	13-211	132	140	104	40d	—	—	+11	24.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Wide-margin wins in 3-runner handicaps at Plumpton (about 2m4f) this autumn; stays 2m6f
2	Shanagh Bob Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	162	—	/114-5	132	138	56	34d	—	—	+11	24.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Should be all set for better as a chaser but was put firmly in his place on first attempt
1	Rock My Way Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Anthony Charlton	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Anthony Charlton	164	tp	232-31	134	143	108	29d	—	—	+14	23.7	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Ran well in all his five chases, two of them at this track; won a three-runner race latest
7	Sea Invasion Chestnut J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	146	—	413-23	116	136	106	14d	—	—	+10	19	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Needs to step up on his two performances over fences; new trip holds possibilities
6	Theformismighty Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	158	tp	614-41	128	138	107	25d	—	—	+12	22.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Likely to stay 2m6f and looks seriously interesting despite 10lb rise since Southwell win
8	Zertakt Bay J:Shane Quinlan(3) T:Venetia Williams	J:Shane Quinlan(3) T:Venetia Williams	145	—	18/3-3	115	142	99	13d	—	—	+15	23.7	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Produced a strong rally when third at Windsor, which makes this longer trip look appealing
5	Moon D'Orange Chestnut J:Freddie Gordon(5) T:John C McConnell	J:Freddie Gordon(5) T:John C McConnell	158	p	10-334	128	134	120	14d	—	—	+15	21.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
This does not look a great mark but the drop back from 3m+ might help
