More than capable off this mark and went close over 6f last time; 5f form needs bettering
6 (13)	John Kirkup Chestnut J:Jonny Peate(3) T:David Thompson	J:Jonny Peate(3) T:David Thompson	132	b	345424	52	65	-	27d	—	—	-5	7.6	5 20%
String of good efforts this year but 0-9 on AW and tricky to win with
9 (7)	Blackcurrent Bay J:Paula Muir(3) T:Alan Brown	J:Paula Muir(3) T:Alan Brown	129	p	387321	49	68	60	18d	—	—	+6	18.6	6 17%
Tough front-runner; six course wins; dug deep to beat Mumcat latest; one to consider
1 (9)	Phoenix Star Bay J:Tommie Jakes(7) T:Jessica Macey	J:Tommie Jakes(7) T:Jessica Macey	135	p	754701	55	74	57	18d	—	—	+1	15.3	11/2 15%
Came through from off the pace to win a 0-60 here last time; big player up 4lb
3 (11)	Basholo Bay J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Stella Barclay	J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Stella Barclay	134	—	633816	54	70	-	34d	—	—	+3	12	17/2 11%
Redcar winner (5f) last month before fair run over 6f; one to be interested in
11 (12)	Birdie Bowers Bay J:David Allan T:David Thompson	J:David Allan T:David Thompson	129	—	227027	49	66	27	22d	—	—	-1	6.6	10 10%
Infrequent winner but enough good runs this year to bring him into the reckoning
7 (10)	Clash Of The Ash Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Tristan Davidson	J:Andrew Mullen T:Tristan Davidson	132	—	885	53	66	-	35d	—	—	-5	3	12 8%
Hint of ability on debut (7f); struggled over further since; intriguing dropped to 5f
10 (3)	Joshua R Bay J:James Sullivan T:Helen Cuthbert	J:James Sullivan T:Helen Cuthbert	129	—	198847	49	70	66	100d	—	—	-5	1.7	12 8%
Two C&D wins and 3lb lower than for the 2nd of them; should find this being run to suit
4 (6)	Nellie French Bay J:Ryan Sexton(3) T:Katie Scott	J:Ryan Sexton(3) T:Katie Scott	133	t	214475	53	68	62	176d	—	—	-1	4.1	25 4%
Five-time Tapeta winner; back from a break perhaps not the time to catch her though
NR (4)	Gowanbuster Bay J:Graham Lee T:Susan Corbett	J:Graham Lee T:Susan Corbett	134	t	272684	54	70	65	13d	—	—	-7	6.5	15/2 12%
Should be at concert pitch now but he has other pace influences to contend with here
12 (5)	The Grey Lass Roan J:Lewis Chalkley(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Lewis Chalkley(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	128	—	653027	48	66	-	10d	—	—	+1	5.8	25 4%
Went close on penultimate start before issues in the stalls latest; hard to win with
13 (14)	Turbo Tiger Bay J:Harry Russell T:Antony Brittain	J:Harry Russell T:Antony Brittain	127	b	245003	48	70	64	66d	—	—	0	4	28 4%
Exposed 16-race maiden; fair third when last seen but others have more pressing claims
NR (1)	Kasino Bay J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	125	b	867607	46	71	-	11d	—	—	-9	3.6	33 3%
6f winner here one year ago; little comparable form since; new headgear today
8 (8)	Dalglish Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	130	h	/993-0	50	68	-	32d	—	—	-2	0.7	40 3%
Exposed maiden; well held back from lengthy absence last month; carries risk
