Failed to make the expected improvement last time but can't be written off yet
1	Crossing The Bar Bay J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Neil Mulholland	168	tp	64595-	110	108	98	88d	—	—	+3	20	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Hinted at a return to form when last seen; now 4lb below last winning mark; interesting
5	New Found Fame Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Kerry Lee	J:Liam Harrison T:Kerry Lee	163	—	F3244-	105	109	100	39d	—	—	+7	20.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Now 0-10 since debut success but may raise his game off current mark
8	Spitalfield Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	160	—	34364-	102	116	86	46d	—	—	+5	19.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has some encouraging form but is held back by his jumping and remains a maiden
7	Bataillon Bay J:Mr David Maxwell(3) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Mr David Maxwell(3) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	162	—	2/6P2-	104	112	79	71d	—	—	+10	19.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Less exposed than most of his rivals; dam's side suggests he may improve for the new trip
6	Heure De Gloire Bay J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	162	tb	73574-	104	109	111	23d	—	—	+9	16.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Placed over 3m early in career but has done her winning at about 2m
10	Ithaka Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	154	t	0PP39-	96	114	77	26d	—	—	+4	15.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Far from consistent; well weighted but isn't a solid option
4	I'm A Starman Chestnut J:Tom Bellamy T:Mark Rimell	J:Tom Bellamy T:Mark Rimell	164	—	17135-	106	107	96	31d	—	—	+19	24.8	4.00/1	16/1 6%
May rebound granted suitable ground; all wins on soft/good to soft
2	In The Air Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Adam West	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Adam West	167	tv	P00P0-	109	109	88	26d	—	—	+11	16.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Chance of revival depends on how well he responds to first-time visor and new trip
NR	Behind The Curtain Brown J:NON-RUNNER T:David Pipe	J:NON-RUNNER T:David Pipe	166	—	P1P5-2	108	110	-	2d	—	—	—	19.5	—	—
