1	Moonshine Spirit Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal Obrien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal Obrien	168	—	44-523	100	105	81	103d	—	—	+3	16.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Consistent; third at Newton Abbot on handicap debut last time; each-way contender again
14	Robbers Bridge Bay J:David Noonan T:Simon Earle	J:David Noonan T:Simon Earle	142	—	9-4233	74	102	92	45d	—	—	-3	9.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
0-13 but placed in handicaps on last three starts and was a close third over C&D on latest
15	Mistertommyshelby Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	142	—	UP4/04	74	98	71	108d	—	—	-5	10.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Unconvincing on form but down in trip and trainer has a fine strike-rate with Sean Bowen
4	Rock On Tommy Grey J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Olly Murphy	J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Olly Murphy	163	tb	-P9112	95	103	92	72d	—	—	+18	32	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Exposed but going great guns in recent starts and that can't be said of many in this field
5	Henry Box Brown Chestnut J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	161	—	1776-8	93	107	98	152d	—	—	+4	13.3	2.25/1	10 10%
Sole win in 13 starts over hurdles came over C&D (heavy) last December off this mark
13	Weavers Answer Grey J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	146	—	02443-	78	103	91	178d	—	—	+5	14.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Second off this mark last December (2m, soft) but a bit below that form in the spring
6	Fever Dream Chestnut J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	160	—	2365-	92	104	73	192d	—	—	+9	15.2	3.25/1	14 7%
2nd in Irish point; well beaten as hurdler but still has form chance on handicap debut
11	Hammer Dan Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	147	ht	20776-	79	94	46	176d	—	—	+3	10.2	2.50/1	11 9%
Wind surgery and handicap debut, so worth a market check despite the lack of solid form
7	Embolden Bay J:James Bowen T:Clare Hobson	J:James Bowen T:Clare Hobson	158	—	-P3503	90	107	103	26d	—	—	+10	15	3.25/1	14 7%
Won at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in April; 3lb lower today, having gone off the boil
NR	Colonel Lesley Grey J:NON-RUNNER(5) T:Alan Jones	J:NON-RUNNER(5) T:Alan Jones	149	—	/P11-4	81	106	96	72d	—	—	+1	10.3	2.25/1	10 10%
Two wins on good last August and ran respectably after 11-month break; seventh trainer
12	El Jefe Bay J:Harry Reed T:Andrew Hamilton	J:Harry Reed T:Andrew Hamilton	147	ht	97743-	79	104	70	164d	—	—	+6	11.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Third at Perth in April on latest start was easily his most positive signal this year
3	Apologise Bay J:Toby Wynne(3) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Toby Wynne(3) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	165	t	643P-6	98	100	69	25d	—	—	+8	13.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Last month's C&D sixth (40-1) in second handicap helps to show that improvement is needed
10	Luna Dora Grey J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	J:Ben Poste T:Tom Symonds	148	t	217-55	80	109	40	115d	—	—	+5	8.6	5.25/1	22 5%
Form claims rest solely on her win by just over 7l at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April
2	Hopeforthebest Chestnut J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	166	t	34	99	100	70	19d	—	—	+11	15.4	5.25/1	22 5%
Minor honours over C&D for new yard in his two starts switched to hurdling; needs extra
16	Heresmax Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	142	t	0P-5	74	93	59	20d	—	—	+4	6.6	12.25/1	50 2%
Modest Flat maiden; handicap debut in this sphere is off a basement mark, as little form
NR	Pour Me A Drink Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Jim & Suzi Best	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jim & Suzi Best	155	h	F/97/	87	-	-	1035d	—	—	—	9.3	—	—
