Easy win here on recent return and a 5lb rise looks fair; major player again back in trip
2 (6)	Fox Flame Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jack Mitchell T:Charlie Johnston	137	v	843159	70	77	61	20d	—	—	+1	14.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won at Southwell last month and she's had traffic issues in last two starts; not ruled out
1 (9)	Kitty Foyle Bay J:Kevin Stott T:Jack Jones	J:Kevin Stott T:Jack Jones	138	p	6-8261	71	76	69	10d	—	—	-2	8.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Rallied well to get off the mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and she's respected under penalty
7 (3)	Lawmans Blis Bay J:Dale Swift T:Ivan Furtado	J:Dale Swift T:Ivan Furtado	130	—	-21613	63	79	55	10d	—	—	+11	19.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Two Wolverhampton wins this year and was third behind Kitty Foyle there latest; in the mix

0-11 but he's reliable and was runner-up at Wolverhampton on stable debut; respected
8 (7)	Smokey Malone Grey J:Dylan Hogan T:Julia Feilden	J:Dylan Hogan T:Julia Feilden	129	b	64-135	62	79	70	16d	—	—	-2	4.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Back from a break with a Southwell win in January but well held in both runs since
6 (4)	Champagne City Chestnut J:Josephine Gordon T:B F Brookhouse	J:Josephine Gordon T:B F Brookhouse	131	p	43-896	64	74	54	12d	—	—	+2	4.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Veteran who has struggled at staying trips in his last three runs; can only be watched
9 (2)	The Knot Is Tied Bay J:Darragh Keenan T:Ryan Potter	J:Darragh Keenan T:Ryan Potter	126	tp	/2/1/0	59	-	-	15d	—	—	+11	12	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Beaten miles at Catterick on his recent comeback and easy enough to look elsewhere
NR (5)	Golden Dove Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Simon Earle	J:NON-RUNNER T:Simon Earle	133	—	7068-4	66	74	-	10d	—	—	—	4	—	—
On last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are more convincing
