Has gone close in both handicaps and this 3yo is open to further improvement for top yard
10 (4)	Elim Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Edward Bethell	J:Connor Beasley T:Edward Bethell	121	—	2-21	77	87	-	30d	—	—	-7	17.5	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Won Newcastle maiden on third start and this unexposed 3yo brings potential to h'cap debut
9 (11)	Chealamy Grey J:Billy Loughnane(5) T:James Ferguson	J:Billy Loughnane(5) T:James Ferguson	122	—	844-2	78	91	72	26d	—	—	0	17	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Runner-up on handicap/seasonal debut at Southwell; in good hands to continue to progress
12 (1)	Iatos Angel Chestnut J:Joe Fanning T:Keith Dalgleish	J:Joe Fanning T:Keith Dalgleish	115	—	7-5651	71	92	78	13d	—	—	-2	8.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Won over 1m2f at Redcar recently; the way she travelled provides hope that 1m will be okay
3 (3)	Ana Gold Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	134	—	22233-	76	89	75	241d	—	—	+10	19.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Winless but consistent last year and can be bang there if reappearing in similar form
4 (12)	Vindobala Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Sam England	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Sam England	132	t	-13R64	74	88	-	17d	—	—	+4	9.5	3.75/1	16 6%
Some good form on AW this year; effective on turf but has much better strike-rate on AW
5 (9)	Wadacre Grace Bay J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	132	—	451413	74	87	-	4d	—	—	+16	20	6.00/1	25 4%
Progressive front-runner on AW this spring; can make a bold bid if return to turf is okay
6 (5)	Gometra Ginty Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Keith Dalgleish	J:Billy Garritty T:Keith Dalgleish	131	p	53482-	73	92	80	202d	—	—	+8	12.9	4.75/1	20 5%
Kept to 7f last season but this three-time C&D winner is respected on her return
2 (8)	Celtic Empress Bay J:Joshua Bryan T:Heather Main	J:Joshua Bryan T:Heather Main	136	h	81640-	78	87	66	176d	—	—	+7	11	6.75/1	28 4%
Two wins last year but may need to drop a few pounds in the weights before she wins again
11 (6)	Elladora Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Katie Scott	J:Cam Hardie T:Katie Scott	115	p	823-21	57	89	80	21d	—	—	-1	2.7	6.00/1	25 4%
Won at Southwell 3 weeks ago but she's going from a 0-55 into a 0-80; this could be tough
7 (7)	Floral Splendour Brown J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	130	—	10340-	72	91	72	190d	—	—	+7	9.8	8.00/1	33 3%
Stable debut 4th here last October was pretty encouraging & she's an interesting contender
1 (2)	Sound Of Iona Chestnut J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Jim Goldie	J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Jim Goldie	140	—	50298-	82	91	80	202d	—	—	+9	11.1	16.25/1	66 2%
Four wins last year but unproven over 1m and may need this comeback outing
