Found chunk of improvement on reappearance; a 9lb rise may not stop him on that evidence
8 (14)	Belloccio Grey J:William Buick T:W P Mullins	J:William Buick T:W P Mullins	133	t	/6843-	100	112	70	—	—	—	+3	20.5	9/2 18%

Improved form this year, having been gelded, and he retains potential at this trip
16 (12)	My Mate Mozzie Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	129	—	2/715-	96	107	89	—	—	—	+10	16.9	12/1 8%

He needs to raise his game but may be the type to benefit from cheekpieces (tends to hang)
14 (15)	Party Central Bay J:Jamie Spencer T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jamie Spencer T:Gordon Elliott	129	t	11-3	96	101	84	18d	—	—	+11	15.7	22/1 4%

Ran well when second in April on rare Flat outing, but that form may flatter him
13 (16)	Lmay Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	129	h	4534-9	96	112	105	24d	—	—	+10	12.1	40/1 2%

Listed winner in 2022; could improve for April comeback run and he's not discounted
12 (1)	Kihavah Chestnut J:Paul Mulrennan T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Adrian Paul Keatley	130	t	12-742	97	114	96	34d	—	—	+10	12.3	66/1 1%
