3 (2)	Nigwa Bay J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	135	—	2215-5	79	92	66	66d	—	—	-8	13.6	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Fair fifth in her two handicaps and there can be optimism she is capable of better
13 (8)	Centre Court Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	123	—	24-515	81	88	45	24d	—	—	-2	11.8	1.00/1	5 20%
Won on AW two starts ago and perhaps soft ground didn't suit at Ripon subsequently
NR (1)	Iatos Angel Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Keith Dalgleish	J:NON-RUNNER T:Keith Dalgleish	118	—	565125	76	94	-	2d	—	—	-35	35	1.25/1	6 17%
3yo; progressive form last month but disappointing at Nottingham on Friday night
4 (9)	Zarabanda Chestnut J:David Nolan T:David Omeara	J:David Nolan T:David Omeara	135	—	310-	79	89	54	190d	—	—	+7	19.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Very lightly raced 4yo who has potential off opening mark in view of her novice win
6 (3)	My Little Queens Grey J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	130	—	353-12	74	89	69	16d	—	—	-2	9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Improved form on her two runs last month and this course winner could be in the mix
9 (11)	Invisible Friend Bay J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	128	—	31-4	72	88	60	16d	—	—	-48	25.5	2.25/1	10 10%
Soundly beaten last month when back from absence, but unexposed and has useful pedigree
1 (15)	Casilli Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	138	—	/2471-	82	90	71	316d	—	—	+13	22.1	2.50/1	11 9%
Beverley brings out her best but she can run well elsewhere & has good reappearance record
8 (13)	Crown Princess Bay J:Graham Lee T:Ollie Pears	J:Graham Lee T:Ollie Pears	129	—	6503-7	73	89	86	17d	—	—	0	8.1	2.50/1	11 9%
Reasonable comeback run and now 2lb lower than when winning this last year; respected
2 (14)	Scotch Mistress Brown J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	137	t	24829-	81	90	61	176d	—	—	+6	14.6	2.75/1	12 8%
First run of 2023; won on last year's reappearance and pretty consistent subsequently
7 (5)	Vindobala Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Sam England	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Sam England	129	t	13R645	73	88	60	14d	—	—	0	8.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Creditable third in this last year but no impact at Musselburgh latest; now 1-16 on turf
10 (10)	Balalaika Chestnut J:Connor Beasley T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Connor Beasley T:Rebecca Menzies	127	—	517-3	85	87	52	30d	—	—	+6	14.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Close third on last month's handicap debut and this 3yo is open to further improvement
5 (12)	Celtic Empress Bay J:Billy Loughnane(3) T:Heather Main	J:Billy Loughnane(3) T:Heather Main	133	h	1640-6	77	90	69	14d	—	—	+2	8.7	4.25/1	18 6%
Won twice last season but was soundly beaten on reappearance run at Musselburgh
12 (4)	Sophiesticate Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Jim Goldie	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Jim Goldie	125	—	079-44	69	91	60	6d	—	—	0	6.5	6.00/1	25 4%
The drop back in trip is worth exploring and she's an each-way possible
14 (7)	Graces Quest Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Jim Goldie	J:Andrew Mullen T:Jim Goldie	121	—	2345-4	65	91	80	10d	—	—	-1	5.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Doubt regarding drop back in trip but not discounted after encouraging reappearance run
11 (6)	A La Francaise Chestnut J:Cam Hardie T:Jim Goldie	J:Cam Hardie T:Jim Goldie	125	—	4319-8	69	88	71	14d	—	—	0	6.5	8.00/1	33 3%
Hasn't shone the last twice and is probably best watched now back down in trip
