Has won his last three under both codes, all from the front; up 6lb for last time.
5	Nadim Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Milton Harris	J:Harry Cobden T:Milton Harris	147	t	753-	85	98	43	82d	—	—	-5	19	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Flat winner; uncompetitive over hurdles thus far but should do better now handicapping.
2	Hes My Shadow Grey J:Toby Wynne(5) T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Toby Wynne(5) T:Robbie Llewellyn	160	ht	77645-	93	100	86	49d	—	—	-1	15.8	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Return to this trip looks a positive and interesting to see what effect the hood has.
4	Miss Fedora Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	149	—	3P7P-3	87	101	81	16d	—	—	+4	15.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Signs at Fontwell last time that she could pick up something off this sort of mark.
3	Smart Deal Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:James Owen	J:Jack Quinlan T:James Owen	159	ht	4-44	97	100	71	15d	—	—	+7	13.7	2.75/1	12 8%
Very free in his three races but this track looks a good fit for his handicap debut.
6	Ravi Road Chestnut J:James Davies T:Mark Usher	J:James Davies T:Mark Usher	142	tp	649-9	80	92	58	22d	—	—	+6	8.2	9.75/1	40 3%
Cheekpieces helped on the Flat and tongue-tie also added, but hard to make a solid case.
7	Vaxholm Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Barry Brennan	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Barry Brennan	142	—	65P-	80	84	-	—	—	—	+6	8.1	19.75/1	80 1%
Flat winner but poor over hurdles and no appeal from out of the weights on handicap debut.
