3	The Boola Boss Chestnut J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	165	t	48341-	117	127	107	24d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+11	35.5	0.63/1	5/2 29%
A likeable type who looks sure to give his running and be heavily involved
6	Copshill Lad Grey J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	160	p	/1351-	112	121	107	42d	—	—	+16	35.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Made it 2-4 over fences when he pulled clear with the second at Southwell; up 4lb
1	Buckna Brown J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	168	p	11P53-	120	126	111	24d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+12	30	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Got himself back on track in the new cheekpieces when third to The Boola Boss at Chepstow

Soundly beaten in his last three races, disappointingly so at Warwick last time
2	Fairlawn Flyer Bay J:Mr James Murray(7) T:Mickey Bowen	J:Mr James Murray(7) T:Mickey Bowen	166	p	1123P-	118	123	112	149d	—	—	+21	26.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Capable stayer but a bit risky today after his last two performances
9	Arrycan Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Scholfield	J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Scholfield	155	—	P9205-	107	124	92	13d	—	—	+13	17.8	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Four-time winner over fences but a 12yo now and his stable debut was a quiet one
5	Galop De Chasse Bay J:Ned Fox(3) T:Venetia Williams	J:Ned Fox(3) T:Venetia Williams	162	—	P/5F7-	114	112	88	46d	—	—	+13	17.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Too well handicapped to ignore but wouldn't be the percentage call
7	Karuma Grey Grey J:Elizabeth Gale(5) T:Barry John Murphy	J:Elizabeth Gale(5) T:Barry John Murphy	158	t	2PF5P-	110	126	115	41d	—	—	+12	16.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Wasn't beaten too far on his stable debut here before sent over 4m at Hexham
10	Balkardy Chestnut J:Miss Eleanor Williams(7) T:Mrs C Williams	J:Miss Eleanor Williams(7) T:Mrs C Williams	153	—	/156P-	105	123	-	180d	—	—	+13	16.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Followed two modest runs over hurdles with a pull-up on his return to fences
