C&D winner at two; promising reappearance and latest run easy enough to forgive; chance
7 (11)	Secret Command Grey J:Connor Murtagh T:Adrian Nicholls	J:Connor Murtagh T:Adrian Nicholls	132	—	0016-2	62	78	63	26d	—	—	-4	12.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Carlisle win at two; good second over C&D last month; not so well drawn this time
3 (1)	Northerner Bay J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	134	—	2-42	64	73	42	36d	—	—	-3	11	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Displayed fair ability in three maiden/novice runs; likely improver now handicapping
11 (8)	Northern Prince Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	118	—	490-5	48	71	60	26d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Ran well in a stronger race on his reappearance (raced wide); still has time to do better
6 (9)	Crack The Kode Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	133	b	81-576	63	75	45	19d	—	—	-3	5.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Two course wins last season; promise at Redcar latest in first-time blinkers; contender
4 (4)	Whogoesthere Bay J:Dougie Costello T:Declan Carroll	J:Dougie Costello T:Declan Carroll	133	—	57-348	63	77	32	19d	—	—	-3	5.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Not at best the last twice but Southwell 3rd in April brings him right into the picture
8 (5)	Crooked Crown Bay J:Mark Winn(3) T:Paul Midgley	J:Mark Winn(3) T:Paul Midgley	131	—	0937-0	61	72	73	33d	—	—	-1	4.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
May have needed her stable/seasonal debut last month but she was well beaten all the same
1 (3)	Mecca's Duchess Grey J:Phil Dennis T:Michael Dods	J:Phil Dennis T:Michael Dods	135	—	5275-7	65	74	57	33d	—	—	-1	5.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Chance on last season's best and this represents a drop in grade; could bounce back
9 (12)	Emerald Army Bay J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	126	—	478-57	56	74	48	26d	—	—	-2	2.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Finished behind a few of these when seventh over C&D last month
12 (2)	Lady Of The Garr Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Tracy Waggott	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Tracy Waggott	117	—	648-67	47	67	49	8d	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Poor turf form, albeit her best run came at this track; not easily recommended
14 (7)	Missterious Bay J:Franny Norton T:Kevin Ryan	J:Franny Norton T:Kevin Ryan	116	—	788-	46	60	64	325d	—	—	-3	1.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Bred to be better than she showed in her three runs last summer; check the market
10 (14)	Uwaittillplaytime Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Declan Carroll	J:Rowan Scott T:Declan Carroll	121	—	777-0	51	71	40	20d	—	—	-2	1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
No improvement for handicapping on his reappearace; wide draw and plenty to prove
13 (13)	Sassy Soprano Bay J:Aiden Brookes(5) T:Ann Duffield	J:Aiden Brookes(5) T:Ann Duffield	116	h	07-67	46	60	37	19d	—	—	-1	0.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
No real improvement for handicapping at Redcar 19 days ago; now tried in a hood

Poor form at two; gelded since but drawn widest and easy to swerve
