C&D winner; promising return last month when blinkers were left off; leading claims
5 (8)	Buccabay Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	132	—	12483-	82	99	81	122d	—	—	+4	18.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
In good form on AW since a Bath win last September; needs ground to dry out
7 (6)	Moulin Booj Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	130	—	24-214	80	97	68	27d	—	—	-3	11.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Progressive sprinter; not seen to best effect latest; drying ground would aid his cause
9 (2)	Almaty Star Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Robert Cowell	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Robert Cowell	128	—	425-87	78	96	81	15d	—	—	0	9.7	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Of interest on his best form but has not quite found his feet for new connections
2 (5)	Burning Cash Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	135	—	76-280	85	98	76	15d	—	—	+2	11.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Good second on last run in a Class 4; lightly raced on soft; could go well

7f winner last summer; on a handy mark and goes well fresh but perhaps vulnerable at 5f
1 (3)	Glamorous Breeze Bay J:William Cox T:Christopher Mason	J:William Cox T:Christopher Mason	137	p	1316-7	87	99	88	12d	—	—	+4	11.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Effective over C&D and shaped okay on return; usually steered clear of slow ground though
3 (1)	Watchya Grey J:Robert Havlin T:George Baker	J:Robert Havlin T:George Baker	134	—	5050-0	84	97	67	25d	—	—	+5	9.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Drops in class but well held on his reappearance and the ground is a concern
