2 (6)	Word Play Chestnut J:P J McDonald T:Sir Michael Stoute	J:P J McDonald T:Sir Michael Stoute	135	p	565	65	68	44	46d	—	—	-10	9.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Bred to be useful but has shown only modest form; now wears cheekpieces for handicap debut
1 (9)	Havanarama Bay J:Ross Coakley T:Hugo Palmer	J:Ross Coakley T:Hugo Palmer	135	tp	4745	65	72	-	134d	—	—	-6	7.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Went wrong way in spring/summer; needs gelding op and cheekpieces to have positive effect
5 (8)	Green Sigma Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	133	p	5337	63	73	47	21d	—	—	-2	10.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Free-going sort; not beaten all that far last time; cheekpieces now fitted
4 (3)	Roubay Chestnut J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	134	—	507	64	65	19	123d	—	—	-6	7.1	1.25/1	6 17%
Hard to pin down after three runs but has had a break; market support would be significant
7 (2)	China Trade Grey J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	128	—	5496	58	69	49	21d	—	—	-5	4.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Step in the right direction last time; leading contender if building on that
6 (10)	Polly The Rocket Chestnut J:Tom Eaves T:Craig Lidster	J:Tom Eaves T:Craig Lidster	129	—	366363	59	72	43	8d	—	—	+2	8.7	2.50/1	11 9%
Clear chance on last week's Newcastle third but only previous run here was well below par
3 (11)	High Sport Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Andrew Balding	J:Rob Hornby T:Andrew Balding	134	—	575	64	72	35	29d	—	—	-3	6	2.50/1	11 9%
Could have potential now stepped up in trip and contesting a handicap; wide draw a worry
11 (5)	Bargain Basement Bay J:James Sullivan T:Michael & David Easterby	J:James Sullivan T:Michael & David Easterby	115	—	07709	45	69	-	106d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Doesn't have much worthwhile form; makes AW/handicap debut, having been gelded
8 (12)	Calafrio Grey J:Robert Havlin T:Philip Kirby	J:Robert Havlin T:Philip Kirby	126	—	46755	56	70	59	18d	—	—	-2	2.9	3.75/1	16 6%
This return to 7f should suit; possibilities as long as stall 12 is not a major negative
12 (7)	Head's Gone Pal Bay J:Luke Morris T:Tony Carroll	J:Luke Morris T:Tony Carroll	115	p	897843	45	68	52	46d	—	—	0	4.2	4.75/1	20 5%
Third in Brighton nursery last time; improvement required if he's to notch a first win
9 (1)	Goldmine Girl Bay J:William Pyle(5) T:Craig Lidster	J:William Pyle(5) T:Craig Lidster	118	p	204457	48	73	34	8d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.25/1	18 6%
0-8 but has reached the frame three times and ran respectably on latest; cheekpieces on
10 (4)	Someone Like You Bay J:Tyler Heard(3) T:Martin Dunne	J:Tyler Heard(3) T:Martin Dunne	116	b	760979	46	65	46	16d	—	—	-1	0.5	37.25/1	150 1%
Out of the first five on all eight starts; difficult to fancy
