#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (10)	Korker Bay J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	138	—	827-02	103	113	91	9d	—	—	-1	19.4	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Had several of these behind him when second of 13 over C&D nine days ago; big chance
5 (3)	Bedford Flyer Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Michael Appleby	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Michael Appleby	132	p	12-763	97	113	90	9d	—	—	+1	16.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Closely matched with Korker on last week's C&D third; may build on that; major player
7 (2)	Mondammej Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	130	h	000-54	95	115	89	9d	—	—	+1	15.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Quirky but well handicapped; shaped as if coming to hand here last time; considered
3 (4)	Fine Wine Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Scott Dixon	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Scott Dixon	137	b	011-27	102	113	76	102d	—	—	+8	14.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Tough 5f performer; current mark probably demands a personal best but he must be respected
4 (7)	Alligator Alley Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	133	t	144306	98	112	82	9d	—	—	+9	15.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Sixth of 13 over C&D last Thursday; could make frame but others appeal more for the win
2 (5)	Chipstead Bay J:Frederick Larson(3) T:Roger Teal	J:Frederick Larson(3) T:Roger Teal	137	—	1219-0	102	111	103	21d	—	—	+8	15.1	2.25/1	10 10%
Improved steadily last season but will need another career best to return to winning ways
6 (13)	Zarzyni Bay J:Jason Hart T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Jason Hart T:David & Nicola Barron	131	p	0000-5	96	114	107	49d	—	—	+8	12.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Went off the boil as 5yo but more promise on return; can play leading role if back on song
11 (9)	Squealer Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	119	—	6116-0	92	111	101	17d	—	—	+6	12.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Tailed off on reappearance and probably faces a stern assignment against his elders
8 (1)	Burning Cash Bay J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	125	—	709-08	90	112	77	39d	—	—	+7	11.2	5.25/1	22 5%
Drying ground will suit; slipping in the weights and looks the pick of Paul Midgley's pair
14 (11)	Reigning Profit Chestnut J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	114	v	-51151	79	113	101	15d	—	—	+21	26.9	5.25/1	22 5%
Thriving, last three wins in less than a month; must prove himself on this quicker ground
10 (14)	Music Society Grey J:Harrison Shaw T:Tim Easterby	J:Harrison Shaw T:Tim Easterby	119	—	31-022	84	113	93	7d	—	—	+4	10.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Arrives in form but conditions may place the emphasis too much on speed
13 (8)	Sound Of Iona Chestnut J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Jim Goldie	J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Jim Goldie	115	—	98-005	80	116	81	12d	—	—	+3	9.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Encouraging fifth at Musselburgh; goes well for Amie Waugh; could go close at a price
9 (12)	Copper Knight Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	120	t	70-469	85	112	98	9d	—	—	+5	10.1	6.00/1	25 4%
Won this in 2017 but isn't quite the force of old and was only ninth over C&D last time
12 (6)	Spring Is Sprung Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Paul Midgley	J:Joanna Mason T:Paul Midgley	115	—	3640-4	80	114	96	57d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+5	8.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Some encouragement on stable debut; off two months since; worth monitoring in the market
