Cosy winner at Fakenham last month; still has untapped potential and could follow up
1	Thankyourluckystar Bay J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Alastair Ralph	J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Alastair Ralph	168	—	/P422-	104	107	84	42d	—	—	+14	24.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Latest second at Bangor was a step back in the right direction; in the mix again
10	Faded Fantasy Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	J:Nick Scholfield T:Christian Williams	158	t	3426-8	94	112	97	17d	—	—	+4	13.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Never the slightest threat at Ffos Las 17 days ago and hard to fancy on that evidence
3	Evenwood Sonofagun Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	167	t	/5439-	103	111	86	101d	—	—	+10	17.3	2.50/1	10/1 9%
0-19; poor run on soft last time but record on sound surface is better; may bounce back
9	Borderline Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	159	t	69458-	95	103	79	198d	—	—	+7	13	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Signs of ability for previous yard; interesting runner in first-time tongue-tie
2	Borodale Brown J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	167	—	B5715-	103	102	78	39d	—	—	+17	21.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Runs off same mark as when scoring at Chepstow but has since run poorly on chasing debut
7	Captain's Pick Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	163	—	25P48-	99	97	49	51d	—	—	+10	13.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Opening handicap mark demands improvement but he's in good hands and it's possible
8	Denable Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Anthony Carson	J:Brendan Powell T:Anthony Carson	162	—	73/25-	98	107	88	—	—	—	+10	12.8	7.00/1	28/1 3%
2-12 over hurdles; not ruled out but others have more obvious claims
12	Side Stepper Bay J:James Turner(7) T:Christian Williams	J:James Turner(7) T:Christian Williams	142	—	6699-	78	85	-	237d	—	—	+5	7.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Tailed off in three runs over hurdles; difficult to recommend from 10lb out of the weights
11	Raindance Queen Bay J:James Best T:William de Best-Turner	J:James Best T:William de Best-Turner	142	—	8P70-P	78	110	96	20d	—	—	+6	7.4	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Pulled up at 50-1 on handicap debut last month and would be a surprise winner
6	Helios Allen Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Phillippa Taylor	J:Harry Bannister T:Phillippa Taylor	163	—	056PP/	99	-	-	485d	—	—	+11	12.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Returns from long absence for new yard; probably best watched unless attracting support
NR	Shuil Ceoil Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Neil Mulholland	J:NON-RUNNER T:Neil Mulholland	167	hp	24P2-4	103	104	-	17d	—	—	—	13.3	—	—
Fourth of 15 at Ffos Las 17 days ago and has possibilities again off an unchanged mark
