C&D and 2m course winner; hung badly left latest but still a good effort; could go well.
4 (6)	Churchella Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	133	v	352614	60	69	60	49d	—	—	-3	16.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Well below par when favourite for an amateurs' race latest; bit to prove now.
6 (4)	Philos Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	132	v	116391	59	68	39	31d	—	—	+2	21.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Won going away last time (1m4f) and can go well again if he repeats that effort.
7 (2)	Perthshire Bay J:Robert Havlin T:Mark Usher	J:Robert Havlin T:Mark Usher	130	—	246/56	52	68	35	14d	—	—	-7	3.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
0-11; handy mark if he can be revived but has that to prove.
1 (1)	The Bay Warrior Bay J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Mark Usher	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Mark Usher	138	p	0029V9	60	69	38	29d	—	—	-2	6.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Drops 2lb & in grade while going up in trip (half-brother to 1m5f winner); not ruled out.
5 (8)	Royal Athena Bay J:Jack Enright(7) T:James Owen	J:Jack Enright(7) T:James Owen	133	h	134362	60	70	61	—	—	—	+3	12.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Returns to this code after defeat over hurdles but she has the form to be competitive.
9 (9)	Duveen Bay J:William Carson T:Anthony Carson	J:William Carson T:Anthony Carson	121	—	362655	48	68	41	11d	—	—	-2	2.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Comfortably beaten on her three starts since a break; others make more appeal.
2 (3)	Benjamin Bear Bay J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Alan King	J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Alan King	138	—	150-40	60	66	34	—	—	—	0	3.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Handy mark but he's hard to fancy based on his last few starts across both codes.
NR (5)	Sir Cilia Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Matt Crawley	J:NON-RUNNER T:Matt Crawley	125	—	7000	52	-	-	31d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
