Just a respectable fourth on stable debut but might come on for the run; interesting
2	Townhill Chestnut J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Tom Lacey	J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Tom Lacey	167	t	/4507-	96	109	86	24d	—	—	+1	15.9	1.00/1	5 20%
Soundly beaten in all three qualifying runs but today's longer trip ought to suit
15	Ideallko Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	142	—	0P04-	71	93	75	62d	—	—	-2	7.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%

11	The Bandit Brown J:Jack Quinlan T:Neil King	J:Jack Quinlan T:Neil King	153	h	95P13-	82	102	74	8d	—	—	+11	19.6	2.75/1	12 8%
Came from poor position for 2m4f win last month; worth another go at this sort of trip
10	Tango Arumba Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	156	t	15670-	85	94	79	88d	—	—	+6	12.5	3.25/1	14 7%

6	Doireann Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	160	tb	P26P5-	89	101	90	37d	—	—	+5	11.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Second twice at Fakenham last season but below form lately; new headgear today

1	Embolden Bay J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Clare Hobson	J:Tristan Durrell(5) T:Clare Hobson	168	—	26613-	97	99	89	13d	—	—	+19	24.4	3.25/1	14 7%
Won over 2m1f on last month's handicap debut; interesting over this much longer trip
5	Astroman Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Syd Hosie	J:Nick Scholfield T:Syd Hosie	161	—	44842-	90	100	93	30d	—	—	+11	16.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Ran quite well in a seller last month but has stamina to prove on this stable debut
7	Barnards Green Chestnut J:Richie McLernon T:Neil Mulholland	J:Richie McLernon T:Neil Mulholland	159	—	/6900-	88	103	62	99d	—	—	+6	10.7	8.00/1	33 3%
