1st	1	—	Absolutely Doyen (G) FAV Made it 4-4 for Paul Nicholls when seeing off 8 rivals in a Wincanton handicap (24.7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, eased down at the finish and leaving the strong impression that he has more in the tank. Very much the one to beat back in …	Freddie Gingell	P F Nicholls	6	73.5 kg	1.73 8/11
5th	2	—	Lewisham Grove (G) Took another step forward when opening his account in a big-field Newcastle maiden (20.3f, good to soft) recently, quickening up well to score in decisive fashion. Clearly going the right way and should give another good account but he's u…	Sean Quinlan	J Candlish	5	72.1 kg	8 7/1
4th	3	—	Out Of The Woods (G) Fairly useful bumper winner who looked a good prospect when making a successful debut over hurdles in 11-runner maiden at Hexham in November.

2nd	4	—	Walks The Talk (M) [H] Successful at Roscommon and Kelso on first 2 starts in this sphere before finishing fifth of 9 in a listed race at Haydock (19f, good to soft) where she repeatedly jumped right. Will be suited by this return to a right-handed track/step ba…	Alex Harvey	J C McConnell	7	70.3 kg	4.33 10/3
3rd	5	—	Sleedagh (G) £80,000 point recruit who has been runner-up on all 4 outings under Rules, most recently in a maiden hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) where he wasn't knocked about. Moving back up in trip here looks a good move and he's of strong interest given…	D R Fox	L Russell & M Scudamore	6	69.9 kg	9.50 17/2
