5 (10)	Spanish Angel Brown J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Ruth Carr	J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Ruth Carr	135	—	419815	56	69	62	14d	—	—	-2	15.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Dual turf winner but his C&D run two weeks ago suggests soft ground is a serious concern.
1 (2)	Sir Benedict Chestnut J:George Bass T:Stella Barclay	J:George Bass T:Stella Barclay	138	—	-84660	59	71	66	13d	—	—	-9	6.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
1lb lower than his most recent win; returns to turf from a spell on AW; claims.
9 (5)	Tommytwohoots Bay J:Erika Parkinson(5) T:Shaun Harris	J:Erika Parkinson(5) T:Shaun Harris	126	p	409762	47	69	62	14d	—	—	-4	8.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Up 1lb for C&D second and would be interesting if able to be ridden closer to the pace.
8 (8)	Birdie Bowers Bay J:Sean Kirrane T:David Thompson	J:Sean Kirrane T:David Thompson	130	—	0-0553	51	70	57	14d	—	—	-9	3.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Did his best work late on over C&D (soft) latest; 1lb lower; each-way player.
10 (9)	Blackcurrent Bay J:Ryan Sexton T:Alan Brown	J:Ryan Sexton T:Alan Brown	124	p	152483	45	70	62	29d	—	—	-3	7.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Returns to turf after some competitive efforts on AW but others push stronger claims.
2 (3)	Golden Gal Brown J:Harry Russell T:Ollie Pears	J:Harry Russell T:Ollie Pears	136	—	41670-	57	71	65	183d	—	—	-1	7.1	2.50/1	11 9%
Won here when fresh last year and no surprise if she goes close, at the least.
3 (1)	Dapper Man Bay J:Jonny Peate(6) T:Roger Fell	J:Jonny Peate(6) T:Roger Fell	136	b	59-931	57	72	68	41d	—	—	-5	4.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Up 6lb for AW win but can still be given a chance based on some of last year's turf form.
7 (6)	Astapor Bay J:Callum Hutchinson T:John David Riches	J:Callum Hutchinson T:John David Riches	131	—	279-56	52	70	63	22d	—	—	-5	2.6	2.75/1	12 8%
2lb lower than when beaten over 4l on soft at Thirsk latest; others preferred.
4 (4)	Yaahobby Bay J:Mark Winn(3) T:Antony Brittain	J:Mark Winn(3) T:Antony Brittain	135	tp	-53407	56	70	17	51d	—	—	-1	3.6	6.00/1	25 4%
AW winner; not easy to fancy based on what he has achieved on turf (0-5).
6 (7)	Basholo Bay J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Stella Barclay	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Stella Barclay	131	—	607-67	52	64	60	90d	—	—	-2	1.5	6.00/1	25 4%
5f winner; returns from a break and record suggests she might be better for this run.
