C&D winner last July and bolted up at Thirsk last week; has to be respected under penalty
2 (4)	Titan Rock Bay J:William Buick T:John Quinn	J:William Buick T:John Quinn	138	—	8-8551	85	97	73	62d	—	—	0	12.1	1.50/1	7 14%
Won at Wolverhampton in March last time out and has gone back up just 2lb; possible player
4 (10)	No Nay Nicki Chestnut J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	137	—	02230-	84	96	84	223d	—	—	+5	18.2	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Close second over C&D last August and could go well now back down in trip on reappearance
5 (7)	Gioia Cieca Bay J:Graham Lee T:Keith Dalgleish	J:Graham Lee T:Keith Dalgleish	136	—	977-35	83	95	71	19d	—	—	-1	11.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Encouraging signs after gelding/wind ops and the return to better ground could be a plus
8 (5)	Riot Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:David Omeara	J:Oisin Murphy T:David Omeara	135	—	3040-1	82	98	81	15d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+12	20.2	2.25/1	10 10%
Back to winning ways on comeback; could have more to offer now things have clicked again
10 (3)	Tiempo Star Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rob Hornby T:Ralph Beckett	134	—	/586-1	81	92	67	22d	—	—	+11	20.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Won in good style at Chelmsford on comeback but now needs to transfer that AW form to turf
6 (8)	Ascot Adventure Chestnut J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	135	—	5750-5	82	100	86	47d	—	—	+3	9.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Open to improvement on second run for trainer who does well with recruits from other yards
13 (14)	Fortamour Bay J:Paul Hanagan T:Ben Haslam	J:Paul Hanagan T:Ben Haslam	133	—	5-0542	80	95	68	7d	—	—	+5	8.6	6.75/1	28 4%
In good form over 6f at Ripon lately; remains to be seen if he's still effective at 7f
16 (20)	Ataser Bay J:Tom Marquand T:T J Kent	J:Tom Marquand T:T J Kent	133	—	0840-0	80	96	84	28d	—	—	+3	9.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Last season's best efforts bring him into it but such high points were scarce
20 (11)	Another Investment Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Nigel Tinkler	130	—	52-408	77	96	54	29d	—	—	+4	7.8	4.75/1	20 5%
The return to better ground is a plus but modest 1-18 strike-rate and unproven over 7f
19 (12)	Eligible Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael & David Easterby	130	—	-17725	77	95	-	14d	—	—	+9	13.6	8.00/1	33 3%
Three 7f AW wins since last October and the race should be run to suit this hold-up horse
7 (1)	Starshiba Bay J:Ben Robinson T:David Omeara	J:Ben Robinson T:David Omeara	135	—	276241	82	92	74	56d	—	—	+18	21.3	8.00/1	33 3%
0-18 on turf but effective on grass and won on AW last time out; might not be far away
17 (18)	Golden Apollo Chestnut J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	130	tp	8146-5	77	93	83	13d	—	—	+5	7.5	8.00/1	33 3%
Won three times last season and ran okay on reappearance; could build on that
12 (19)	Motagally Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Scott Dixon	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Scott Dixon	134	—	0084-6	81	92	67	62d	—	—	+5	8.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Continues to drop in weights but patchy profile nowadays; others have more pressing claims
18 (15)	Milbanke Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Ruth Carr	J:Joanna Mason T:Ruth Carr	130	—	5231-4	77	92	62	23d	—	—	+5	7.5	12.25/1	50 2%
In good form on AW last November and could show the benefit of last month's comeback run
9 (2)	Quest For Fun Chestnut J:Sean Kirrane(3) T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane(3) T:Tim Easterby	135	—	10859-	82	97	83	213d	—	—	+9	10.5	16.25/1	66 2%
Just 1lb above last winning mark but below par on final few runs last season; stable debut
15 (6)	Seven Brothers Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Scott Dixon	J:Tom Eaves T:Scott Dixon	133	—	4307-7	80	96	88	20d	—	—	+5	8.4	12.25/1	50 2%
No return to form on reappearance but on a dangerous mark and back on better ground here
3 (17)	Mudamer Grey J:Sam James T:Geoffrey Harker	J:Sam James T:Geoffrey Harker	138	—	0100-8	85	93	75	14d	—	—	+6	10	6.00/1	25 4%
Can build upon stable debut run when getting stronger pace, which should be the case today
11 (16)	Mossbawn Bay J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Neil Mechie	J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Neil Mechie	134	—	/3040-	81	91	76	237d	—	—	+7	9.1	16.25/1	66 2%
Well treated on best form; tailed off when last seen; probably best watched on yard debut
14 (13)	Archduke Ferdinand Grey J:Dale Swift T:Tracy Waggott	J:Dale Swift T:Tracy Waggott	133	p	31D2D-88	80	93	41	13d	—	—	+7	7.8	24.75/1	100 1%
Good record in Sweden but last of eight this spring on first two British starts
