As good as ever of late, winning at Haydock and York; hat-trick looks very possible
NR (3)	Casilli Bay J:TBC T:Michael & David Easterby	J: T:Michael & David Easterby	133	—	057534	76	88	74	2d	—	—	-3	13.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Beverley specialist; fourth at Ripon on Monday and may be coming to the boil
8 (1)	Arranmore Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Dianne Sayer	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Dianne Sayer	129	—	7-3227	72	88	83	25d	—	—	-7	10.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Soft ground a plausible excuse last time; each-way claims if the ground dries out
11 (10)	Perfect Swiss Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	124	—	555025	67	90	61	10d	—	—	0	10.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Arrives in top form (met trouble last time); big player if getting the breaks
9 (6)	Global Spirit Bay J:Ben Curtis T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Ben Curtis T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	125	p	365966	68	92	77	30d	—	—	-2	7	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Last year's winner off an 8lb higher mark but recent efforts have been subdued
3 (9)	Alexander James Bay J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	134	p	667316	77	88	76	13d	—	—	+10	17.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Not beaten far at Yarmouth last time; this looks stronger but he can't be ruled out
1 (11)	Garden Oasis Bay J:Sean Kirrane(3) T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane(3) T:Tim Easterby	135	p	-72164	78	90	79	37d	—	—	+9	15.4	2.75/1	12 8%
Nine-time winner; just a respectable fourth here latest start; drying ground would suit
2 (2)	Hortzadar Bay J:Richard Oliver T:David Omeara	J:Richard Oliver T:David Omeara	135	—	282476	78	92	81	18d	—	—	+4	10.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Hard to predict; only sixth of 12 at Ripon last time; others appeal a bit more
10 (4)	Motawaafeq Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Michael Appleby	J:Andrew Mullen T:Michael Appleby	124	p	-34471	67	89	-	28d	—	—	+12	16.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Surged back to form when making all at Kempton; this is more competitive and he's up 4lb
7 (7)	Ventura Rascal Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	131	—	89-449	74	91	76	19d	—	—	+3	7.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Made all over C&D last summer but unplaced five times since

Defied similar marks twice last year but has looked out of sorts this season
