Didn't settle latest; down another 2lb, but whether shorter trip rates a plus is moot.
2	Elios Dor Bay J:Harry Kimber(3) T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber(3) T:Robert Walford	165	p	2121-3	117	127	112	10d	—	—	+5	25.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Remains on career-high chase mark, but at his most effective at class 4 in this sphere.
7	Blueberry Wine Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	155	t	3/514-	107	126	102	19d	—	—	+6	20.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Well-run race and/or rain will be welcome; 0-6 in handicaps off 105 or higher, though.

Retains potential; irregular heartbeat found after chase/handicap debut flop here latest.
4	Somekindofstar Chestnut J:Jack Quinlan T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Jack Quinlan T:Charlie Longsdon	163	t	3157-4	115	128	106	10d	—	—	+8	19.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Faded as if needing it on this month's return; defied today's mark over 2m in early 2022.
3	Ragamuffin Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	165	t	21212-	117	121	107	233d	—	—	+29	37.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
First or second in all eight chase starts; stays further, and can go well after a break.
6	Dino Velvet Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	J:Tom Cannon T:Alan King	157	p	/4554-	109	130	129	20d	—	—	+10	16.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Career-low mark and drop back from 2m3f rate positives, but won't be wanting rain.
