Disappointing favourite at Pontefract but good third over C&D previously; not written off

Only fourth when favourite last time but failed to settle; not surprise if he's in the mix

His novice form reads well and he failed to settle on handicap debut; retains potential

2l win at Ascot last month and the form is working out well; a 6lb rise may not stop him

Four-time course winner who returned to form last time and is one to consider
3 (1)	Global Esteem Bay J:Pat Dobbs T:John Gallagher	J:Pat Dobbs T:John Gallagher	136	—	736375	74	85	75	17d	—	—	+1	10.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Continues to edge down weights but on a 12-race losing run and others are more compelling
4 (7)	Morcar Bay J:Alec Voikhansky(5) T:Richard Hannon	J:Alec Voikhansky(5) T:Richard Hannon	135	—	0-8417	79	85	67	31d	—	—	0	10.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Won in small field here on handicap debut, then slow ground may not have suited at Sandown
8 (3)	Ludos Landing Bay J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	132	v	618064	76	83	70	19d	—	—	+5	9.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Comfortable win at Carlisle in June but well beaten on his four starts since

Won off 2lb higher on AW last September but his turf form is inferior
