Collared close home at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January; up 2lb; acts here; player.
6	Daany Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Joe Tickle	J:Harry Cobden T:Joe Tickle	156	h	624127	85	100	80	—	—	—	+10	21.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Below par both in this code and on AW on his last two starts; player if bouncing back.
11	Guivinec Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Jonathan Burke T:Anthony Honeyball	150	t	1-06P5	79	90	65	59d	—	—	+6	17.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Point winner; initial mark workable and any market confidence would pique interest.
2	Orange Diamond Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	165	p	5PPPPF	94	104	-	22d	—	—	+3	14.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Fell two out in a chase latest; up 5lb for this return to hurdles; more needed.
4	Universal Secret Chestnut J:Paul O'Brien T:Helen Nelmes	J:Paul O'Brien T:Helen Nelmes	163	—	7-P56P	92	103	61	35d	—	—	+2	13.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Won twice over C&D last year; nowhere near that level since; well treated if reviving.
9	Mr Zee Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Michael Blake	J:Charlie Todd T:Michael Blake	155	—	806	84	93	55	55d	—	—	+2	11.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Best effort over hurdles was his most recent but needs improvement to defy this mark.
5	Miss Fedora Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	J:Micheal Nolan T:Seamus Mullins	162	—	3271P4	91	96	69	39d	—	—	+9	17.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Travelled strongly before weakening into fourth latest (career best); each-way player.
8	Dundory Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:John O'Shea	J:Nick Scholfield T:John O'Shea	155	—	000	84	86	66	59d	—	—	+4	10.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
May be able to show more now entering handicaps from a workable mark; market check.
1	Hawk Stone Bay J:Ben Poste T:Harriet Dickin	J:Ben Poste T:Harriet Dickin	168	—	06679	97	91	77	35d	—	—	+9	12.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Missed a race last week after he scoped wrong; initial mark looks stiff based on his form.
13	Canal Rocks Grey J:Conor Ring(3) T:Bernard Llewellyn	J:Conor Ring(3) T:Bernard Llewellyn	146	tp	1350-5	75	97	62	20d	—	—	+4	7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Hasn't shown much in one start in either code since returning from a lengthy absence.
7	Royal Regard Bay J:Bryan Carver T:Neil Mulholland	J:Bryan Carver T:Neil Mulholland	156	—	8PP/07	85	-	34	22d	—	—	+8	9	31.25/1	125/1 1%
0-8 across both codes; we need to see more before recommending him.

Has lost his way since in recent times and is not easy to recommend on that evidence.
