Unbeaten over 1m2f in cheekpieces; up in grade off a higher mark but progressive

Finally back to a good mark and last two efforts not too shoddy; now gelded
2 (8)	Kingori Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	144	—	113-82	82	85	-	13d	—	—	0	11.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
First run over this far when second to a Prescott improver last time; making turf debut

Only 1-10 but the fact that his connections are persevering (now gelded) bodes well
7 (3)	Tarbaan Chestnut J:Kevin Stott T:Amy Murphy	J:Kevin Stott T:Amy Murphy	136	tp	-46749	74	84	64	17d	—	—	0	8.5	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Looks a better horse on the AW and yet failed to offer much last time at Chelmsford
10 (7)	Palamon Chestnut J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	126	—	27-754	72	83	71	9d	—	—	-1	8.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Slow starts are becoming a habit but the ability is there to win off this mark; up in trip
5 (2)	Way Of Life Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	140	—	250-30	78	84	72	14d	—	—	+3	8.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Tailed off last time but usually consistent; has never won off this high a mark
8 (6)	Master Of Combat Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	135	—	2-3755	73	83	41	48d	—	—	+6	10.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Below par last twice; record now stands at 1-14 and he needs to rediscover his spark
3 (10)	Cap Francais Bay J:David Egan T:Ian Williams	J:David Egan T:Ian Williams	142	p	0-0898	80	80	52	15d	—	—	+5	8.3	8.00/1	33 3%
Has plenty of back-class but poor this season, the last twice in cheekpieces and a visor
NR (4)	Lions Mane Bay J:Ray Dawson T:T J Kent	J:Ray Dawson T:T J Kent	141	—	3210-9	79	84	-	36d	—	—	-2	11	8.00/1	33 3%
Ex-French winner; quiet stable debut on the AW and has questions to answer
