14 (5)	Antiphon b J:Sean D Bowen(5) T:Mike Murphy & Michael Keady	J:Sean D Bowen(5) T:Mike Murphy & Michael Keady	130	—	29-041	75	95	75	12d	—	—	+4	7	25/1 4%

21 (9)	Al Ameen br J:Ross Coakley T:James Fanshawe	J:Ross Coakley T:James Fanshawe	128	tp	127-55	73	97	65	14d	—	—	+4	6.5	28/1 3%
Below form returned to turf a fortnight ago; drying ground may help but others appeal more
22 (10)	Starproof b J:Lewis Edmunds T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	J:Lewis Edmunds T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	128	—	03824-	73	94	80	175d	—	—	+8	10.9	25/1 4%

Goes on any ground, but a record of 1-30 over 6f or further brings reservations
27 (17)	The Cola Kid gr J:Hayley Turner T:Grace Harris	J:Hayley Turner T:Grace Harris	116	tb	3117-5	61	94	78	19d	—	—	+1	3.2	40/1 2%
