Except for his Champion Chase blunder he's looked as brilliant as ever this season
4	Il Etait Temps Grey J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	164	ht	2131-1	160	167	154	359d	—	—	+28	41.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Absent for nearly a year but trained by a genius and he's proven at this level
2	Energumene Brown J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	164	—	11/12P	163	172	123	45d	—	—	+20	31.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Former main man in this division but his powers would appear to be on the wane
6	Master Chewy Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	164	—	-4F315	156	167	152	44d	—	—	+32	35.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
A good bet to give his running but he's relying on some of these being off their game
1	Edwardstone Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	164	—	-3F235	159	170	142	77d	—	—	+29	33	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Jonbon has his number and he disappointed last time in the Game Spirit at Newbury
7	Unexpected Party Grey J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	164	t	-52422	149	154	147	45d	—	—	+32	35.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Jonbon comfortably has his measure on their previous clashes; lots to find on the figures
3	Harper's Brook Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	164	p	52143P	137	147	135	10d	—	—	+26	26.6	37.50/1	150/1 1%
This looks far too tough a task for one who is essentially a smart handicapper
