Modest final run but a player on his previous efforts and Sean Bowen is booked
1	Hostile Hotelier Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	169	t	2-3F42	111	111	93	5d	—	—	+4	24.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Same mark as when narrowly denied last week at Sedgefield
5	Puddlesinthepark Bay J:Osian Radford(10) T:Evan Williams	J:Osian Radford(10) T:Evan Williams	163	p	U31-11	105	112	-	50d	—	—	+4	17.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
In-form chaser; now has 5lb lower mark over hurdles so weighted to have a major say
4	Despereaux Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	165	—	11423-	107	110	98	156d	—	—	+17	29.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Capable but below best when last seen in April and soft ground might not be helpful
3	Faded Fantasy Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	166	t	81-411	108	110	91	19d	—	—	+6	17.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Hiked up 10lb for recent C&D success and could do with the ground drying out
2	Jullou De Grissay Bay J:Mr James King(3) T:Max Comley	J:Mr James King(3) T:Max Comley	168	tv	3-3241	110	110	101	20d	—	—	+10	20	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Raised 6lb for winning at Worcester but a greater concern could be this softer ground
