Front-runner; C&D winner last term; might have needed reappearance; high on the list
5	Doyen Du Bar Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Nicky Richards	J:Harry Cobden T:Nicky Richards	159	h	31121-	131	145	127	278d	—	—	+30	47.6	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Consistent and progressive with a fine strike-rate; interesting contender for new yard
2	General Medrano Bay J:Ben Jones T:Emma Lavelle	J:Ben Jones T:Emma Lavelle	167	—	4280-4	139	147	127	28d	—	—	+11	26.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Easy winner 12 months ago; encouraging fourth at Ascot on return; should make a bold bid
9	Rath Gaul Hill Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Samuel Drinkwater	J:Brendan Powell T:Samuel Drinkwater	151	t	11/16-	123	140	132	240d	—	—	+10	21.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Lightly raced; winning run came to an end at Aintree in April but he still has potential
10	Abingworth Bay J:Sean Bowen T:James Owen	J:Sean Bowen T:James Owen	142	—	1-U214	114	147	114	21d	—	—	+18	24.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
5-18 over fences but often let down by jumping; well held last time and this is warmer
1	Etalon Brown J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	J:Kielan Woods T:Dan Skelton	169	t	P41-52	141	142	112	34d	—	—	+18	24.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Wide-margin winner at Perth in April; will need a career best to defy top weight
6	Ryan's Rocket Chestnut J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	157	—	4126U-	129	143	121	248d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+18	25.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Comes into the reckoning on second at Ascot last winter; plausible candidate after break
3	Rare Edition Bay J:David Bass T:Charlie Longsdon	J:David Bass T:Charlie Longsdon	162	—	124F-2	134	144	130	35d	—	—	+21	27.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Respectable second at Kelso on reappearance but this is a deeper race
8	Luminous Light Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:Anthony McCann	J:J J Slevin T:Anthony McCann	153	—	11-921	125	137	123	16d	—	—	+16	19.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Irish raider; can give trouble at the start but has taken well to fences; not ruled out
4	Uncle Phil Bay J:Isabelle Ryder(7) T:Chester Williams	J:Isabelle Ryder(7) T:Chester Williams	162	ht	P68-PP	134	-	-	13d	—	—	+19	21.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Well treated on best form for Willie Mullins but pulled up twice since joining this yard
