10 (7)	Kirikiriroa Chestnut J:Rob Hornby T:J P Murtagh	J:Rob Hornby T:J P Murtagh	127	b	0-8907	48	58	32	22d	—	—	-17	7.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Held in six starts but this is a drop in grade; market confidence would be interesting
NR (9)	Send In The Clouds Bay J:NON-RUNNER(3) T:Tony Carroll	J:NON-RUNNER(3) T:Tony Carroll	135	—	347442	47	57	29	2d	—	—	-10	11.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Not easy to win with but often makes the frame and could be given a chance on best form
8 (2)	Starry Eyes Chestnut J:Ray Dawson T:Brett Johnson	J:Ray Dawson T:Brett Johnson	135	—	595454	50	62	41	25d	—	—	-12	5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Just 2-44 but drops to this level for the first time and has a good chance at the weights
5 (6)	Latent Heat Bay J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	135	—	659454	45	53	34	9d	—	—	-13	5.2	0.90/1	18/5 22%
Drops to this level for the first time; could go well, especially if ground on soft side
9 (8)	Ceilidh King Chestnut J:Hollie Doyle T:Hughie Morrison	J:Hollie Doyle T:Hughie Morrison	127	—	60-800	50	60	-	16d	—	—	-8	3.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Has not built on some initial promise and is hard to recommend despite the drop in class
11 (1)	Stamford Blue Bay J:Sam Hitchcott T:Richard Hannon	J:Sam Hitchcott T:Richard Hannon	127	—	694804	49	57	43	2d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.25/1	10 10%
Unplaced all ten starts; fourth at Bath on Wednesday and each-way claims on that form
3 (3)	Doonbeg Farmer Brown J:Charles Bishop T:Gary Brown	J:Charles Bishop T:Gary Brown	135	t	8-6605	50	52	12	2d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Could be given a strong chance at this level on best form, but a while since he showed it
2 (5)	Ballet Blanc Chestnut J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Richard Price	J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Richard Price	135	p	024020	47	57	37	33d	—	—	+1	5.7	5.25/1	22 5%
Just beaten in a similar race here on her penultimate start; claims on that form
4 (4)	Gonzaga Bay J:Morgan Cole(7) T:James Bennett	J:Morgan Cole(7) T:James Bennett	135	p	766694	43	52	47	8d	—	—	-3	1.2	4.25/1	18 6%
Close fourth in a handicap here eight days ago but that took his record to 0-45
6 (11)	Merlins Muse Chestnut J:Georgia Dobie(3) T:Tom Mcguinness	J:Georgia Dobie(3) T:Tom Mcguinness	135	b	-00000	40	51	37	16d	—	—	-3	1	6.75/1	28 4%
Out of the frame in eight starts for this yard; of interest only if popular in the market
1 (10)	Apache Portia Bay J:Ryan Sexton(3) T:Robyn Brisland	J:Ryan Sexton(3) T:Robyn Brisland	135	—	75-706	42	51	21	48d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.00/1	33 3%
Not beaten that far in a similar contest here last month but still hard to fancy
