13	Shade Of Winter Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	160	h	22-32	114	125	106	44d	—	—	-8	27.4	0.34/1	11/8 42%
Bumped into a smart one here latest; strong form claims and he's bred for this longer trip
2	As Legends Have It Bay J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	160	—	/21-23	113	116	83	16d	—	—	-3	23.8	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Likeably consistent already but has to raise his game to beat the two form horses here
12	Royal Rambler Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Emma Lavelle	J:Jonathan Burke T:Emma Lavelle	160	—	36	-	109	101	29d	—	—	-9	6.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Quiet latest effort but his debut run at Leicester was very likeable
14	Tokyo Tom Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:Toby Lawes	J:Kevin Brogan T:Toby Lawes	160	—	2-8	-	102	58	91d	—	—	-2	5.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Didn't run badly for a 50-1 chance when midfield in a Ffos Las maiden three months ago
4	Dyno Dave Bay J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Nicky Henderson	J:Freddie Gordon(3) T:Nicky Henderson	160	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Second foal; dam runner-up in a point; leading yard so makes sense to check the betting
7	Kalhandrion Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Richard Hobson	J:Richie McLernon T:Richard Hobson	160	t	5-54P	109	118	99	39d	—	—	+13	15.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Fourth at Warwick confirms he has ability; can win races but perhaps not this one
11	Roe And Co Brown J:Will Featherstone(7) T:Jamie Snowden	J:Will Featherstone(7) T:Jamie Snowden	160	t	C1-P	-	-	-	27d	—	—	-3	1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Irish point winner; only 2-1 but ran no race from an early stage on hurdling debut
5	Girls Best Friend Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	160	—	U/5	-	83	72	53d	—	—	-2	0.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Running well when unseating in a point; should strip fitter for his Lingfield run
10	Pure Blue Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	160	t	—	-	-	-	79d	—	—	-1	0.3	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Lost his position quite early and finished tailed off in a bumper here in November
8	Mad At Midnight Bay J:Miss Thomasina Eyston(7) T:Richard Mitford-Slade	J:Miss Thomasina Eyston(7) T:Richard Mitford-Slade	160	—	P6	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Two runs in 2m4f points at Larkhill, pulling up in the first and well held in the second
6	Junior Des Mottes Bay J:Connor Brace T:David Brace	J:Connor Brace T:David Brace	160	—	7/4-07	-	56	22	15d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Initial promise but it's been a quiet start under rules and he may need handicaps
1	A Good Yomp Bay J:Jay Tidball(5) T:Andrew J Martin	J:Jay Tidball(5) T:Andrew J Martin	160	—	0-49F	-	79	52	53d	—	—	0	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
250-1 for two Newbury maidens, finishing tailed off and then falling early
9	Noble Recall Bay J:Harriet Tucker(7) T:Anthony Day	J:Harriet Tucker(7) T:Anthony Day	160	—	88-P	-	-	-	59d	—	—	0	0.1	125.00/1	500/1 0%
No sign of ability in two bumpers and a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Warwick (300-1)
15	Victor Haze Chestnut J:Conor Ring T:Phillip Dando	J:Conor Ring T:Phillip Dando	160	—	85-	-	61	15	293d	—	—	0	0.1	100.00/1	400/1 0%
Tailed off in his first two hurdles, since when he's undergone wind op; an 8yo already
NR	Captain Bellamy Bay J:TBC T:Paul Nicholls	J: T:Paul Nicholls	160	—	103-21D	-	123	110	53d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Disqualified from first at Newbury and clearly capable of winning a race of this nature
