1m AW winner in March and 2nd over C&D three weeks ago; has the ability to feature
3 (9)	Compere Bay J:Paddy Bradley(3) T:Michael Attwater	J:Paddy Bradley(3) T:Michael Attwater	136	p	4-0824	56	68	-	19d	—	—	-8	5.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Two good AW runs this spring; return to turf shouldn't hurt; still capable of better
1 (10)	Cap Dantibes Bay J:Robert Havlin T:Michael Roberts	J:Robert Havlin T:Michael Roberts	137	t	0-5365	57	69	-	20d	—	—	-9	6.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
All wins on AW but has run well in both Brighton starts; should have a big run in him
4 (7)	Mr Marvlos Bay J:Ray Dawson T:T J Kent	J:Ray Dawson T:T J Kent	134	b	7-0736	54	67	16	12d	—	—	-6	3.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Struggles for consistency and this exposed maiden could prove vulnerable once more
9 (4)	Voodoo Ray Chestnut J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Gary Moore	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Gary Moore	127	p	89342-	47	64	48	253d	—	—	-4	10.5	1.25/1	6 17%
Maiden but ended 2022 with a good 2nd over 7f here; more to come this year; 1m should suit
5 (8)	Adace Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Dean Ivory	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Dean Ivory	132	p	410-89	52	69	-	20d	—	—	-6	3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
1lb lower than for her AW win in November; sharper for her recent run; new headgear today
2 (12)	Graffiti Bay J:Taylor Fisher(5) T:Gary Brown	J:Taylor Fisher(5) T:Gary Brown	137	—	57543-	57	67	37	166d	—	—	-4	8.1	2.75/1	12 8%
Hurdle winner; placed over 1m2f when last seen; 1m perhaps sharp enough after a break
8 (3)	Landing Strip Bay J:Dane O'Neill T:Marcus Tregoning	J:Dane O'Neill T:Marcus Tregoning	128	—	909-	48	59	-	167d	—	—	-6	2.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Poor form last winter but there was some promise on debut; can do better now handicapping
NR (6)	Jolis Legacy Bay J:TBC T:Tony Newcombe	J: T:Tony Newcombe	126	—	0636-6	46	61	45	74d	—	—	-11	4.3	3.75/1	16 6%
Ran okay here in October but poor strike-rate and easy enough to take on
10 (11)	Queen Sarabi Bay J:Mollie Phillips(3) T:Tony Carroll	J:Mollie Phillips(3) T:Tony Carroll	126	—	30-083	46	62	59	20d	—	—	-9	3.6	2.75/1	12 8%
7f winner here one year ago; promising reappearance here 3 weeks ago; stamina not assured
11 (5)	Capla Knight Bay J:Josephine Gordon T:Phil Mcentee	J:Josephine Gordon T:Phil Mcentee	126	tp	-00980	46	62	-	19d	—	—	-3	1.1	6.00/1	25 4%
No sign of a return to form for this yard and others look much safer
13 (1)	Essme Bay J:William Carson T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	J:William Carson T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	126	—	44099-	46	66	52	185d	—	—	-3	1.1	6.75/1	28 4%
Ended 2022 quietly and likely best watched after a six-month break
6 (2)	Laurentia Bay J:Charlie Bennett T:Laura Mongan	J:Charlie Bennett T:Laura Mongan	129	—	45-369	49	65	34	118d	—	—	-3	1	9.75/1	40 3%
