Progressive sprinter; mark still appeals but he'll need to be more smartly away back at 5f

Two C&D runs this year have yielded a win and a good 2nd; fair mark; should be involved
8 (1)	Aberama Gold b J:Mark Winn T:David O'Meara	J:Mark Winn T:David O'Meara	122	b	743480	85	114	94	14d	—	—	-1	14.1	9/2 18%
0-11 this year but on a good mark and the return to testing ground is a huge positive
2 (10)	Silky Wilkie b J:Sam Feilden(7) T:K R Burke	J:Sam Feilden(7) T:K R Burke	137	v	628082	100	110	100	7d	—	—	+12	21.2	8/1 11%
Ran a cracker for 2nd in last week's Ayr Gold Cup; each-way shout if the visor works again
3 (5)	Blue Storm b J:Jack Mitchell T:Gemma Tutty	J:Jack Mitchell T:Gemma Tutty	135	—	1-4126	99	110	100	28d	—	—	+13	21.6	9/1 10%
Has done well for this yard; Listed race proved too much latest but he could yet do better
10 (6)	Never Dark b J:Alex Jary(5) T:Iain Jardine	J:Alex Jary(5) T:Iain Jardine	115	—	926000	78	113	96	7d	—	—	+2	10.4	10/1 9%
Won this race last year off 4lb lower; mixed in 2024 but capable under these conditions
7 (4)	Hyperfocus b/br J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	124	p	011092	87	111	88	7d	—	—	+15	21	12/1 8%
Conditions ideal & comes here on the back of a cracking 2nd last week; e-w claims at least
9 (9)	Blind Beggar b J:Luke Morris T:Michael Appleby	J:Luke Morris T:Michael Appleby	121	b	607106	84	110	86	13d	—	—	+9	15.2	12/1 8%
Conditions to suit and should be sharper for a recent run at Doncaster; considered
4 (7)	Designer ch J:Hector Crouch T:John Butler	J:Hector Crouch T:John Butler	130	—	4148-0	93	110	100	38d	—	—	+7	12.4	16/1 6%
On a good mark and handles bad ground; bit to prove after her low-key return though
6 (8)	Changeofmind ch J:Callum Shepherd T:Declan Carroll	J:Callum Shepherd T:Declan Carroll	127	—	8-8620	90	111	88	21d	—	—	+6	11.6	16/1 6%
Return to testing ground is in his favour; needs to bounce back from a poor run last time
