Unlucky loser in a warm C&D sprint two weeks ago; 1lb rise negligible; strong claims
3 (8)	Woodhay Wonder Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Ward	J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Ward	134	—	11-114	99	110	99	36d	—	—	0	17.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%

9 (10)	Two Tribes Chestnut J:William Buick T:Richard Spencer	J:William Buick T:Richard Spencer	126	b	22-204	91	110	90	16d	—	—	+3	12.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Reappearance second (6f, good) represents strong form; good run latest; perhaps best at 6f
11 (2)	Brave Nation Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Michael Bell	J:Oisin Murphy T:Michael Bell	121	h	302210	82	109	97	14d	—	—	+13	21.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Latest run easy to forgive and in good form beforehand; strong pace would suit
8 (3)	Existent Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Stuart Williams	J:Rossa Ryan T:Stuart Williams	127	—	07-204	88	112	88	2d	—	—	+4	11.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Dangerous mark and ran well at Sandown on return; no excuses when 4th at Yarmouth Thursday
5 (6)	Pepsi Cat Bay J:Harry Davies T:Steph Hollinshead	J:Harry Davies T:Steph Hollinshead	130	t	331514	91	110	93	35d	—	—	+16	22.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Giant strides in the last 12 months and she may not have finished yet; one to consider

Goes well here and latest C&D 6th (Albasheer 2nd) was another solid run; each-way shout
2 (11)	Spangled Mac Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	137	tp	0101-6	98	111	90	8d	—	—	+7	13.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Came from the clouds to win at Newcastle (5f) in November; sharper for recent return
4 (7)	Bond Chairman Brown J:Paul Mulrennan T:Bryan Smart	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Bryan Smart	132	—	30500-	93	109	99	288d	—	—	+6	13.3	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Fine record fresh and he's run several good races over C&D; one to be interested in
7 (4)	Emperor Spirit Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:Robert Cowell	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Robert Cowell	127	tp	162-24	88	110	-	20d	—	—	+7	10.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Two good runs back from a year off but more will be needed in today's field

Conditions to suit and won this race in 2022; hard to support on the back of 2024 defeats
