Very solid C&D form this season, including a win last time; could be bang there once more

9yo who isn't the force of old but drops into a Class 4 for the first time since 2017
4 (5)	Glory Fighter Bay J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	135	p	06-331	80	93	70	33d	—	—	-3	11.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Made all at Catterick last time and could have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces

Good third on AW in March when last seen but may be vulnerable now back on grass
1 (3)	Venturous Chestnut J:Billy Garritty T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Billy Garritty T:David & Nicola Barron	140	—	269284	85	94	62	11d	—	—	+4	13.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Below best the last twice but could get suitably strong pace and he's not ruled out
6 (1)	Black Friday Bay J:Paddy Mathers T:R Mike Smith	J:Paddy Mathers T:R Mike Smith	128	—	-26276	73	94	81	11d	—	—	+3	11.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
On a long losing run and patchy form this season, but claims boosted if the ground is slow
7 (4)	Resilience Bay J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	127	—	0-4005	72	95	71	11d	—	—	-1	7.9	2.00/1	9 11%
Well handicapped but he's hard to fancy on the form of his last three runs
