1	Police Academy Bay J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Fergal Obrien	J:Mr Ben Sutton(7) T:Fergal Obrien	168	—	322-P1	102	109	89	33d	—	—	-12	24.8	0.30/1	6/5 45%
Made winning stable debut in a modest maiden but she should build on that
2	Never No Trouble Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald Mccain	163	b	73-222	101	103	98	29d	—	—	+2	17.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Has finished runner-up in her last three hurdles and latest conqueror was well backed
7	Pollypockett Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	150	—	3-3412	84	102	65	32d	—	—	+2	13.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
3lb nudge for latest near miss is no help but should give her running
4	Malina Ocarina Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	J:Sean Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	157	—	-41463	91	105	84	15d	—	—	+9	19.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Essentially underwhelming since coming 5l clear at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May
6	Maggie O Chestnut J:William Maggs(7) T:Donald Mccain	J:William Maggs(7) T:Donald Mccain	154	—	P-1442	88	101	76	17d	—	—	+4	11.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Second to On Cloud Nine in a maiden here; the winner runs in the previous race
3	Symbolic Spirit Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Amy Murphy	J:Jack Quinlan T:Amy Murphy	159	b	P06-V8	93	107	46	20d	—	—	+7	12.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Now 0-10; blinkers did nothing for her when tailed off at Worcester (2m7f)
8	Green Or Black Grey J:Edward Rees(10) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Edward Rees(10) T:Neil Mulholland	149	tp	P-9164	83	108	65	22d	—	—	+5	9.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Well held since her Uttoxeter win; an 11yo now and others have more pressing claims
5	Shes A Rocca Bay J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	J:Danny McMenamin T:Nicky Richards	156	t	35176-	90	87	96	284d	—	—	+13	16.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Potentially well handicapped, back from a break and this trip should suit her
9	Hannahs Walk Bay J:Toby Wynne(5) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Toby Wynne(5) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	142	ht	0P-70	76	75	43	72d	—	—	+5	7.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Poor so far but now goes handicapping for a respected yard and market needs checking
