2lb well in after emphatic AW win last month but this return to turf is not ideal
3 (7)	Monhammer Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Linda Perratt	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Linda Perratt	140	—	-77231	65	71	64	39d	—	—	+8	22.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Scored over C&D last month; 4lb rise might leave him vulnerable, but he can still go well
9 (9)	The Gay Blade Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	130	h	-56031	55	70	63	7d	—	—	+5	16.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Only due a 3lb rise for recent C&D classfied win; 5lb penalty demands a career best

Close third over 1m1f here last month; today's drop back to 7f may not be ideal
5 (8)	Rich Waters Bay J:Sam James T:Grant Tuer	J:Sam James T:Grant Tuer	138	—	0-8706	63	76	49	15d	—	—	-7	7.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Yet to strike form for new stable this year but today's move back up in trip will suit
7 (3)	Sparkle In His Eye Chestnut J:Aiden Brookes(5) T:Micky Hammond	J:Aiden Brookes(5) T:Micky Hammond	136	—	4-6025	61	73	66	23d	—	—	-4	5.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Has much better strike-rate on AW but was close second over C&D off this mark in June
2 (6)	Nefyn Dawn Bay J:Jason Hart T:John Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John Quinn	141	—	72403	66	67	40	10d	—	—	+3	10.7	2.25/1	10 10%
Well beaten over 1m2f on handicap debut but placed over 7.4f since; not yet fully exposed
4 (5)	End Zone Bay J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	140	b	041484	65	71	65	16d	—	—	0	9.3	2.25/1	10 10%
Very respectable fifth (promoted to fourth) after racing quite wide at Catterick last time
8 (1)	Magicdollar Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	131	—	-12155	62	69	42	38d	—	—	+8	12.9	4.25/1	18 6%
Dual 1m AW winner during the winter but made underwhelming turf return last month
