Catterick winner over 3m1f; attracted support 13 days ago and stayed on best
5	Asa Grey J:Joe Williamson(3) T:Philip Kirby	J:Joe Williamson(3) T:Philip Kirby	158	p	1245P1	90	105	79	40d	—	—	+10	24	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Might have finished second had the runner-up jumped better here on Boxing Day; up 5lb
8	Gavroche d'Allier Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	150	—	4P4/34	82	98	82	38d	—	—	0	11.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
First run back from a break was much better than the second but hard to rule out
4	Check The Score Bay J:Jack Hogan(3) T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jack Hogan(3) T:Fergal O'Brien	159	p	1/4-38	91	102	-	54d	—	—	+8	18.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
No surprise to see him sent chasing as he offered little in three runs over hurdles
2	Socialiser Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	167	t	1/2/55	99	102	-	34d	—	—	+13	23.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Current wellbeing is an issue but should be better back over fences (handicap debut here)
1	Dark Mix Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Pam Sly	J:Charlie Todd T:Pam Sly	168	—	16-5P4	100	-	-	18d	—	—	+7	14.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Course bumper winner; he's bred to make a chaser and this is his first handicap
6	An Cailin Ciuin Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Henrietta C Knight	J:Tom Cannon T:Henrietta C Knight	158	t	-44649	90	-	-	49d	—	—	+6	11.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Has slipped in the weights and this former pointer could be more effective at chasing
10	Halfway House Lad Bay J:Charlie Price(3) T:Maurice Barnes	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Maurice Barnes	142	t	-26159	74	101	80	38d	—	—	+9	13.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Left with nothing to beat for sole chase success at Newcastle in November
3	Soldier Dan Brown J:Harry Reed T:L J Morgan	J:Harry Reed T:L J Morgan	160	—	3F/870	92	85	-	20d	—	—	+8	11.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Has struggled over hurdles but the potential is there to make a better chaser
9	Lady Pacifico Bay J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Georgie Howell	J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Georgie Howell	142	tp	3765-5	74	102	93	40d	—	—	+4	6.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
