On a reduced mark and the return of headgear, and to this C&D, could both be positives
3 (11)	Toimy Son Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	133	—	9-3824	89	106	77	18d	—	—	0	13.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
0-9 in Britain but in good heart at Goodwood the last twice and could be thereabouts
7 (5)	Mitrosonfire Grey J:Tom Marquand T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	J:Tom Marquand T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	128	—	47-582	84	106	69	23d	—	—	0	11.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Two-time course winner who was beaten just a neck at Leicester most recently; player
2 (10)	Havana Blue Grey J:Daniel Muscutt T:Julie Camacho	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Julie Camacho	133	—	100-86	89	103	75	26d	—	—	0	13.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D winner who was a close sixth at Doncaster this month and might not be far away
8 (7)	Darkness Bay J:Jason Watson T:David O'Meara	J:Jason Watson T:David O'Meara	128	v	-06503	84	104	79	18d	—	—	+4	14.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Ran well when third at Goodwood last time and his last win came here; chance
6 (9)	Ararat Bay J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	129	h	51431-	85	102	80	278d	—	—	+18	26	3.00/1	12/1 8%
First run of the year but he was progressive last season (C&D winner); respected
4 (2)	Benacre Bay J:Neil Callan T:Charlie Johnston	J:Neil Callan T:Charlie Johnston	132	p	9-3003	88	102	65	14d	—	—	+5	11.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Back to form with close third over about 1m at Nottingham; should be fine back down to 7f
10 (4)	Waiting All Night Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Richard Spencer	J:Hollie Doyle T:Richard Spencer	122	—	74-395	78	105	78	19d	—	—	+2	8.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%

Three-time 7f winner who is on a handy mark; capable of having a say now back up in trip
11 (8)	Lord Rapscallion Grey J:Connor Planas(3) T:Stuart Williams	J:Connor Planas(3) T:Stuart Williams	120	—	079-96	76	105	80	22d	—	—	+5	7.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Encouraging sixth over 6f at Nottingham latest and not ruled out now back up to best trip
