Revival since upped in trip and remains on a winning mark upped a fair 2lb; shortlisted
2 (11)	Virtual Hug Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Nikki Evans	J:Rossa Ryan T:Nikki Evans	134	—	-34415	54	65	58	21d	—	—	-5	14.3	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Not much room for manoeuvre off this mark but is hard to knock out of the equation
7 (6)	Stolen Encounter Brown J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	131	b	84-223	53	66	57	10d	—	—	-8	4.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Two short-priced defeats since being edged out by Virtual Hug; has to prove he wants it
1 (2)	Baileys Warrior Bay J:Robert Havlin T:Deborah Faulkner	J:Robert Havlin T:Deborah Faulkner	135	hp	-42221	55	66	58	21d	—	—	+10	22.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Better since upped from middle-distances and having cheekpieces added to the hood; player
5 (7)	Prince Abu Grey J:Darragh Keenan T:Derek Shaw	J:Darragh Keenan T:Derek Shaw	133	—	259-84	53	69	63	10d	—	—	-5	3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Odds-on to blow the start and can pull hard; regressed in recent times and is risky
6 (5)	Black Smoke Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Mark Loughnane	J:Billy Loughnane T:Mark Loughnane	132	tb	3-2408	52	67	58	21d	—	—	-2	4.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last two runs haven't been great; is some way down the pecking order
3 (4)	Winklevi Bay J:David Probert T:David Evans	J:David Probert T:David Evans	133	—	3455-6	53	71	63	42d	—	—	-3	2.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Boasts a fair record over C&D down the years but is knocking on and on the downgrade
12 (3)	Casa Luna Bay J:Aidan Keeley(3) T:Philip Kirby	J:Aidan Keeley(3) T:Philip Kirby	126	—	20-764	46	65	51	8d	—	—	-4	1.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Again looked worth a try over this longest trip to date latest and holds each-way claims
11 (8)	Nelson River Bay J:Jack Doughty(7) T:Tony Carroll	J:Jack Doughty(7) T:Tony Carroll	126	—	/8-703	46	58	33	21d	—	—	-2	0.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Only seen sporadically recently and didn't achieve a lot behind Baileys Warrior last time
9 (1)	Silk Purse Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:John Butler	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:John Butler	127	—	85-06	47	62	25	25d	—	—	-2	0.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Takes a big step up in trip tonight; would want to see good support before considering her
8 (10)	Midgetonamission Bay J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Damien Wingrove	J:Millie Wonnacott(5) T:Damien Wingrove	131	—	588-09	51	61	34	9d	—	—	0	0.5	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Has stamina to prove and hasn't offered much in two runs back anyway

Hasn't offered a huge amount in three runs back for her current yard; needs much more
