Won this last year off a 3lb higher mark (on soft); didn't run badly on the AW last time
1 (7)	On The River b J:Cam Hardie T:Harriet Bethell	J:Cam Hardie T:Harriet Bethell	137	—	15468-	77	89	83	194d	—	—	+1	11.6	13/2 13%
Last year was a good one for his new yard and he's back on his last winning mark
5 (8)	Harswell Duke b J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	132	—	670-60	72	86	69	10d	—	—	0	7.7	17/2 11%
Handy mark but hasn't fired for a while now and remains best watched

No wins since a 2yo but has come down the weights and conditions are fine
8 (4)	Star Shield ch J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	132	—	1-3335	72	86	72	20d	—	—	+8	14.2	11/1 8%

Fourth of 16 over C&D before running too bad to be true on the AW
11 (12)	Perfect Swiss b J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	127	b	8-6171	67	90	65	15d	—	—	0	5.9	16/1 6%
Something has clicked in the blinkers; could have this run to suit if held up

Needs a good pace to aim at and on a dangerous mark should he get one

Failed to show enough on stable/AW/handicap debut last month to trust for this

Has won a race but not so clever in two runs for this yard, well beaten both times
