Looked as good as ever when second over C&D this month; likely contender again
5	Tonto Foley Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	150	t	/1P31-	82	102	89	74d	—	—	+11	26.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Clearcut winner at Taunton in March and might be seen to even better effect on good ground
9	Ballymagee Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	144	tp	3355P-	76	111	88	58d	—	—	-5	10.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Has gone the wrong way since his respectable third at Ffos Las in October
4	Big Jim Beam Bay J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	J:James Bowen T:Warren Greatrex	162	—	/18P4/	94	-	-	448d	—	—	+5	16	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Very unexposed 8yo; makes chase/handicap debut after long layoff; matket may guide
6	Uncle Arthur Bay J:Lilly Pinchin T:James Owen	J:Lilly Pinchin T:James Owen	149	ht	5866-6	81	-	-	17d	—	—	+2	10.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
0-7 over hurdles for stable and looks too risky on this second chasing attempt
3	Pittsburg Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	J:Sean Bowen T:Ryan Potter	162	t	22230-	94	106	87	—	—	—	+13	20	2.50/1	10/1 9%
AW winner in March; back chasing on workable mark but others appeal more all the same
1	Ben Buie Brown J:Bradley Roberts(5) T:Martin Keighley	J:Bradley Roberts(5) T:Martin Keighley	168	p	4114P-	100	106	91	156d	—	—	+15	20.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has fitness to prove but runs this track well and has a good 5lb claimer enlisted
10	Beannaigh Do Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Sheila Lewis	J:Brendan Powell T:Sheila Lewis	142	—	05P5P-	74	97	74	93d	—	—	+4	6.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
0-15 under all codes; difficult to enthuse over from 4lb out of the handicap
8	Whyzzat Bay J:James Turner(7) T:Sarah-Jayne Davies	J:James Turner(7) T:Sarah-Jayne Davies	149	tp	/747-5	81	106	76	17d	—	—	+6	8.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Ran well to a point over C&D this month but remains without a win since 2021
NR	Man Of Light Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:NON-RUNNER T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	149	h	/6F6-5	81	103	84	17d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
Ran better than 22l defeat might suggest last time but has basically become disappointing
