12-1, unseated at the last in Grade 3 handicap at Haydock (3m) but was running creditably

May still have needed race when respectable sixth of 15 in 3m Grade 3 handicap at Haydock
2	Sabrina Bay J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	J:Freddie Gingell(5) T:Paul Nicholls	164	t	8231-4	126	132	110	29d	—	—	+7	23.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
3-13 over hurdles; emphatic winner at Ayr (3m) in April but is now 7lb higher
5	Shallow River b/br J:Bradley Harris(5) T:Anthony Charlton	J:Bradley Harris(5) T:Anthony Charlton	159	p	242224	121	130	116	11d	—	—	+18	28.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
While respected for his consistency, some improvement is needed for a first handicap win

Her three wins were at this track; placed recently but there's a big stamina doubt
1	Pounding Poet Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Tom Lacey	J:Richard Patrick T:Tom Lacey	168	tv	62-06P	130	132	81	47d	—	—	+15	22.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
2m5f and recent form are both big concerns; first preference is 3.13 Wincanton
3	Royal Pretender Brown J:Bryan Carver T:Alan King	J:Bryan Carver T:Alan King	162	—	3U24-2	124	131	99	63d	—	—	+14	27.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Pretty consistent but his second at Exeter on reappearance made it 0-10 in handicaps
7	Hunting Percival Bay J:Sean Houlihan T:Syd Hosie	J:Sean Houlihan T:Syd Hosie	151	t	2P1530	113	129	118	38d	—	—	+18	21.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Won twice at Stratford (2m6f and 3m2f) this summer but he's an inconsistent sort
