First run after wind surgery when a weakening fourth here last week over 7f
1 (5)	Dion Baker Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Wigham	J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Wigham	140	p	441547	64	73	51	13d	—	—	-6	11.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Below best on last three starts and seems to need faster ground than good to soft
9 (6)	Munificent Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	127	—	-44725	51	74	65	68d	—	—	-3	6.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Four-time winner; winless this year but he's been running well for the most part
5 (7)	Bluebells Boy Bay J:Neil Callan T:Darryll Holland	J:Neil Callan T:Darryll Holland	133	tb	832313	57	71	58	9d	—	—	+7	18.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Bang in form but he was withdrawn here recently on account of the good to soft ground
8 (11)	Porfin Bay J:Tyler Heard(3) T:Phil McEntee	J:Tyler Heard(3) T:Phil McEntee	129	p	851622	53	72	59	9d	—	—	+4	15.3	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Much respected in his current form
6 (1)	Havana Smoke Grey J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Dylan Cunha	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Dylan Cunha	132	—	4-2483	61	69	58	18d	—	—	-3	5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Third over 7f latest; that might be his trip now and slow ground would be a concern
7 (9)	Moreginplease Bay J:Darragh Keenan T:John Ryan	J:Darragh Keenan T:John Ryan	129	b	991432	58	68	51	7d	—	—	+7	14.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ran well here last week when beating all bar an unexposed and well-backed winner
4 (10)	Melisende Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Amy Murphy	J:Callum Shepherd T:Amy Murphy	133	hb	45-257	62	71	50	36d	—	—	-2	4.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Has threatened and the return of a hood (with blinkers) looks a positive move
3 (8)	Majorelle Blue Bay J:Ray Dawson T:Simon Pearce	J:Ray Dawson T:Simon Pearce	135	—	592-5	64	64	26	189d	—	—	-1	5.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Just missed out on the places when sent off favourite for her handicap debut at Kempton
11 (3)	Enchanted Night Chestnut J:Anna Gibson(7) T:Christine Dunnett	J:Anna Gibson(7) T:Christine Dunnett	121	p	-98534	45	70	62	34d	—	—	-1	3.3	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Beaten under 2l the last twice but she's 1-45 overall and perhaps better at 5f than 6f
10 (2)	Willowbank Chestnut J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Charlie Fellowes	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Charlie Fellowes	124	—	02-636	53	69	-	9d	—	—	-2	1.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Runner-up off this mark and tardy start was no help when back over 6f at Wolverhampton
