Ready win here on stable debut and runner-up won next time; 6lb rise could prove lenient
8	Magic Wave Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	158	—	/12-12	119	133	94	45d	—	—	+5	22.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Very lightly raced 8yo who retains potential and is not discounted on his handicap debut

Won at Market Rasen in December and perhaps heavy ground was too much at Haydock latest

May have needed reappearance run; on a competitive mark and he's not ruled out

Likes it here and he returned to form with a good second over C&D (soft) three weeks ago

Well handicapped on form as recent as last April but well beaten on both runs this season

Reappeared with good second at Uttoxeter but patchy nowadays and soundly beaten since

Continues to drop down the weights but for good reason

10yo who isn't the force of old but is down to a dangerous mark and not ruled out
5	The Wounded Knee Bay J:Theo Gillard T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Theo Gillard T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	164	t	128P-P	125	-	45	239d	—	—	+18	19	20.00/1	80/1 1%
