Tricky to settle but fourth in this last year off 2lb lower and same in the County Hurdle
14 (22)	Almosh'her Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	131	—	1-211	98	115	78	37d	—	—	+7	24	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Debut last December; he's now 3-4, last time holding Stressfree in 1m4f handicap at York
12 (15)	French Duke Bay J:James Doyle T:Roger Varian	J:James Doyle T:Roger Varian	132	h	/2612-	99	115	103	286d	—	—	+16	29.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
C&D 6th at this meeting last year; missed prep race but he's lightly raced and progressive
7 (10)	Hand Of God Chestnut J:William Buick T:Harry Charlton	J:William Buick T:Harry Charlton	135	—	1/11-9	102	113	100	48d	—	—	+9	21.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
1m2f win at this meeting on final start last term; worth another chance on second run 2025
5 (8)	Mutaawid Bay J:Jim Crowley T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Jim Crowley T:John & Thady Gosden	136	b	46-515	103	112	90	14d	—	—	+6	16.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Fair 5th at Epsom; a return to this trip is probably okay; needs to resume improvement
9 (18)	Stressfree Chestnut J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	135	—	7-4321	102	111	102	20d	—	—	+6	15.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Comes from off the pace and has been very reliable, at 1m4f recently as well as 1m2f
8 (17)	Mount Atlas Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Andrew Balding	J:Rob Hornby T:Andrew Balding	135	—	312-45	102	112	92	43d	—	—	+8	15.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Fifth of six in 1m5f Group 3 at Chester has earned him a 4lb rise but he needs respect
13 (12)	War Rooms Bay J:Colin Keane T:Gerard Keane	J:Colin Keane T:Gerard Keane	132	p	397-22	99	110	76	38d	—	—	+6	14.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Some renewed hope; tries cheekpieces, for same connections who won this race last year
11 (13)	Siege Of Troy Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:J P Murtagh	J:Oisin Murphy T:J P Murtagh	132	tp	437-44	99	110	88	27d	—	—	+9	13.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Disappointing last time; tongue-tie is added and she needs overall improvement
17 (3)	Blue Lemons Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:W P Mullins	J:Billy Loughnane T:W P Mullins	130	—	/6240-	97	113	105	—	—	—	+11	15.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Very hit and miss in his four hurdle races but the champion jumps trainer earns respect
6 (11)	Naqeeb Bay J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	136	—	200-65	103	114	101	20d	—	—	+11	14	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Seems to be getting his act together again judged on two 1m4f handicaps this term
15 (4)	Auld Toon Loon Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	130	t	/143-2	97	113	105	42d	—	—	+15	17.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Question to answer on firmer than good but his career is gathering serious momentum again
20 (6)	HMS President Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Alan King	J:Rossa Ryan T:Alan King	129	v	20/0-6	96	112	-	—	—	—	+10	12.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Neck 2nd in this race two years ago off the same mark as today, so not entirely dismissed
10 (19)	Max Mayhem Bay J:Mickael Barzalona T:Hilal Kobeissi	J:Mickael Barzalona T:Hilal Kobeissi	133	—	-63180	100	111	62	37d	—	—	+17	19	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Won stylishly at Meydan (1m4f, good) in March but put in his place back in Britain since
19 (2)	Satin Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	129	p	90-923	96	110	89	35d	—	—	+10	12	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Renewed hope from two competitive displays but others still look more potent for the win
1 (14)	Teumessias Fox Chestnut J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	138	p	050-13	105	113	-	60d	—	—	+13	14.1	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Seems to have found his niche on the Kempton AW; cheekpieces (tried once in 2023) return
2 (21)	Flight Leader Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	138	t	1517-4	105	111	87	42d	—	—	+13	14.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Ran well at 33-1 when never-dangerous fourth at Chester (10.3f, good) on British debut
16 (9)	Brodure Chestnut J:Christophe Soumillon T:Xavier Blanchet	J:Christophe Soumillon T:Xavier Blanchet	130	t	17-113	97	112	-	22d	—	—	+11	12.1	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Progressive runs going left-handed on soft ground over 1m2f in the French provinces

Placed twice at Meydan (1m1f/1m4f) before a poor show when 40-1 at York last month
NR (16)	Caviar Heights Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:William Haggas	J:NON-RUNNER T:William Haggas	137	—	16936-	104	113	-	272d	—	—	—	17.6	—	—
1m2f Listed win last May last term; didn't kick on from that; 520,000gns buy over new trip
