Career best at Cheltenham in the spring; up another 7lb but she's a likeable mare
1	Dargiannini Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	168	t	10/01-	142	144	98	340d	—	—	+9	28.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
3-6 for this yard and impressive at Kempton last November; up 6lb; goes well fresh
2	Lac De Constance Grey J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	159	—	46/53-	133	140	99	328d	—	—	+10	25.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Regressed over fences but latest third in a Class 2 hurdle was a solid effort
3	Pyramid Place Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	158	h	150-17	132	138	116	133d	—	—	+11	24.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Another new yard but this multiple winner will need his best form yet
5	Ballybegg Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	J:Richard Patrick T:Kerry Lee	149	—	0414-4	123	141	122	167d	—	—	+9	21.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Goes well here; only fourth last time but didn't run badly and has dropped 5lb
6	Thanksforthehelp Grey J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	148	t	01/P0-	122	142	109	237d	—	—	+13	19.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Interesting on his form of two seasons ago but further would be ideal for him
4	Willaston Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	153	tp	1402-0	127	143	133	144d	—	—	+16	20.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Knows how to win; Bangor second reads well and latest effort was too bad to be true
7	Tamar Bridge Bay J:Beau Morgan(5) T:Olly Murphy	J:Beau Morgan(5) T:Olly Murphy	148	—	1PP/P/	122	-	-	698d	—	—	+15	19.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
6lb beneath his last winning mark but was pulled up on all three of his outings in 2022
