No return to form on first 2 runs for new yard; needs major turnaround now in cheekpieces
2	Loughermore Bay J:William Shanahan(7) T:Simon Waugh	J:William Shanahan(7) T:Simon Waugh	158	tp	224058	90	112	88	28d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Well treated on chase form last May/June; interesting contender now back over fences
3	Ballynagran Brown J:Craig Nichol T:Joanne Foster	J:Craig Nichol T:Joanne Foster	156	t	46-031	88	103	85	28d	—	—	—	9.5	—	—
Back to form to win at Wetherby latest and this lightly raced 8yo could have more to offer
4	Sir Apollo Bay J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	151	tb	-41644	83	106	88	16d	—	—	—	11.3	—	—
Made all over C&D in November; hasn't threatened since but perhaps the blinkers will help
5	Henry Brown Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Hugh Burns	J:Brian Hughes T:Hugh Burns	150	p	331463	82	108	87	25d	—	—	—	14.6	—	—
Fair 3rd over C&D last month & could better that performance if getting a stronger gallop
6	The Very Thing Bay J:Miss Becky Smith T:Micky Hammond	J:Miss Becky Smith T:Micky Hammond	146	v	2-6P3P	78	109	94	53d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Inconsistent and pulled up at Catterick latest; however, has a chance on best 2022 efforts
7	Tanrudy Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	143	b	239-04	75	102	76	18d	—	—	—	6.3	—	—
Yet to get back on track after long layoff but Welsh yard has healthy 21% strike-rate here
