Has an appealing record here and he's capable of showing his true form after an absence
3	Elvis Mail Grey J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	150	t	633U1-	143	168	150	217d	—	—	+18	41.9	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Comfortable winner over C&D in March; this 5lb higher mark might not be beyond him
1	Corach Rambler Bay J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell	166	t	/5411-	159	164	142	196d	—	—	+29	50.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
13lb higher than for his Grand National heroics but he was mightily impressive
2	Highland Hunter Grey J:Paddy Brennan T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Paddy Brennan T:Fergal O'Brien	152	t	5/124/	145	164	-	630d	—	—	+16	26.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
New trainer can get them fit but this 10yo is a thorough stayer who ideally wants further
5	Rapper Bay J:Alice Stevens(7) T:Henry Daly	J:Alice Stevens(7) T:Henry Daly	147	p	9315P-	140	171	128	226d	—	—	+20	29.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Not on a bad mark and cheekpieces return but his record fresh isn't overly encouraging.
6	Burrows Diamond Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Sue Smith	J:Sean Quinlan T:Sue Smith	146	—	61282-	139	161	124	224d	—	—	+29	34.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Has never raced beyond 3m and being 5lb out of the weights is no help
