0-8 and beaten off modest marks in his last three handicaps; vulnerable in a maiden.
3	Copshill Lad Grey J:Harry Reed T:Milton Harris	J:Harry Reed T:Milton Harris	160	t	2-1345	109	116	88	51d	—	—	0	26.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Not progressing but still enters calculations in a very winnable race.
2	Cape Vidal Bay J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Ben Godfrey(3) T:Anthony Honeyball	160	t	1398	-	-	-	58d	—	—	-14	12.5	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Not progressed from a good start in bumpers but he should make a hurdler.
8	Scarpered Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Nicky Henderson	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Nicky Henderson	160	—	0-759	-	105	73	77d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Some promise behind the useful Pembroke at Ludlow in December and this is very weak.
6	Honneur De Sivola Chestnut J:Bradley Roberts(7) T:Clare Hobson	J:Bradley Roberts(7) T:Clare Hobson	160	—	F-4F24	-	87	18	20d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Weakened on soft ground at Market Rasen; best point form was on good.
7	Jet Of Dreams Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Warren Greatrex	J:Brendan Powell T:Warren Greatrex	160	t	1-50	-	-	-	105d	—	—	+4	8.2	6.00/1	25 4%
Modest bumper form but won an Irish point and should do better now hurdling.
1	Bar Thyme Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	160	—	046	-	-	-	39d	—	—	-2	0.7	9.75/1	40 3%
Minor form in bumpers and now clearly flattered by his debut effort at Ascot.
4	Engaging Sam Chestnut J:Caoilin Quinn(5) T:Paddy Butler	J:Caoilin Quinn(5) T:Paddy Butler	160	—	605-08	-	83	50	49d	—	—	-1	0.4	19.75/1	80 1%
Well held in four bumpers and tailed off on his hurdling debut at Lingfield when 250-1.
