Won with a bit in hand at Bangor (2m, good) and this 4yo may have turned a corner
11	Right Now Bay J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	156	—	668-13	102	108	93	25d	—	—	+3	17	5/1 17%
Hung at Bangor but still finished third and that form was given a boost last weekend
6	Byzantine Empire Bay J:Connor Brace T:John & Rhys Flint	J:Connor Brace T:John & Rhys Flint	161	tp	675-36	103	113	77	25d	—	—	+5	16.6	7/1 13%
Struggling under both codes at present and opposable for now
8	Midnight Jewel Bay J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Lilly Pinchin T:Charlie Longsdon	158	—	2/414-	100	-	-	394d	—	—	+11	17.7	12/1 8%
All seven wins have been over 2m3f-2m5f so this trip looks tight now back from a break
5	Lightfoot Lady Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	163	ht	/P53-P	105	108	77	73d	—	—	+7	16.4	12/1 8%
Poor on handicap debut but could bounce back in new headgear; seems to enjoy good ground
2	Gaelik Coast Brown J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Donald McCain	J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Donald McCain	166	tp	3654-5	108	114	88	53d	—	—	+10	16.2	14/1 7%
He's seemingly on the decline and ideally needs further these days
9	Zodiac Star Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	158	—	661	104	107	79	23d	—	—	+19	25.1	16/1 6%
It was a weak maiden he won at Stratford but that's something to build on
10	Sergeant Bay J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Harriet Dickin	J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Harriet Dickin	157	—	4F254/	99	112	-	534d	—	—	+8	16.7	18/1 5%
Four-time hurdle winner but absent since early 2023 so wellbeing is an issue
12	Kentucky Bluegrass Bay J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Nigel Hawke	154	—	85-37	100	104	73	49d	—	—	+8	14.1	18/1 5%
Lightly raced but only 2lb lower than when beaten 11l on his handicap debut in June
13	Getaway Jewel Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Micky Hammond	J:Brian Hughes T:Micky Hammond	142	—	P7768-	84	-	-	94d	—	—	+3	10.6	18/1 5%
Chase/hurdle winner who could have a revival in him back under more suitable ground
4	Privilege Bay J:Charlie Price(3) T:Sheila Lewis	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Sheila Lewis	163	—	459P-P	105	111	67	27d	—	—	+12	14.2	100/1 1%
Useful in Ireland not all that long ago but has pulled up in both runs for current yard
1	Ballywood Bay J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Georgie Howell	J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:Georgie Howell	168	—	54/3/0	110	-	7	36d	—	—	+16	17.3	150/1 1%
Showed nothing here a month ago (hurdling) after a mammoth absence
NR	Parikarma Bay J:Cameron Iles(7) T:John & Rhys Flint	J:Cameron Iles(7) T:John & Rhys Flint	165	p	1645-1	107	114	100	30d	—	—	—	24.3	—
