Runner-up over C&D last month and he's high on the list at a course he likes

Two wins from last four starts; steadily progressive and could have more left in the tank
2 (4)	Speeding Bullet Bay J:Joe Leavy(3) T:Richard Hannon	J:Joe Leavy(3) T:Richard Hannon	135	—	4-9568	75	85	56	29d	—	—	-5	11	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won off 4lb higher last October but rather underwhelming on his four outings this year
7 (5)	Between Me And U Bay J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	127	t	936591	67	84	62	7d	—	—	+6	18.5	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Won comfortably on last week's stable debut and could be well treated under a 6lb penalty
3 (7)	Sunny Corner Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	132	—	612115	72	84	75	28d	—	—	+13	24.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Only fifth at Windsor latest but prolific previously and could bounce back today
6 (6)	Hello Cotai Bay J:Jack Dace(7) T:Adam West	J:Jack Dace(7) T:Adam West	131	p	232181	71	84	70	27d	—	—	+16	24.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
2-time C&D winner who has the makings of a course specialist and is firmly in calculations
4 (8)	Graecia Bay J:David Egan T:John Butler	J:David Egan T:John Butler	132	—	5-42	72	81	58	131d	—	—	+3	6.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Promise on two of her three starts and she could go well on handicap debut
9 (1)	Autumn Dream Bay J:William Cox T:Charles Hills	J:William Cox T:Charles Hills	124	—	885-44	64	83	64	26d	—	—	+1	4.3	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Reappearance run wasn't devoid of promise but she's flopped subsequently
8 (9)	Alika Breeze Chestnut J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	124	—	73-787	64	81	53	65d	—	—	+2	4.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
