Serial slow starter; nothing like as good as he was and only holds each-way claims
1 (8)	The Gay Blade Bay J:Archie Young(3) T:Iain Jardine	J:Archie Young(3) T:Iain Jardine	135	—	413415	59	73	-	8d	—	—	+1	16.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%

Last November's 5f victory here came off a 26lb higher mark; return to Tapeta will help

Struggled on turf in the summer and he needs to bounce back following a six-week break

Arrives in decent form and is well handicapped; good test over this trip round here fine
6 (10)	Fircombe Hall Chestnut J:William Pyle T:Philip Kirby	J:William Pyle T:Philip Kirby	130	p	144682	54	71	65	40d	—	—	+1	7.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Six-time C&D winner who looked a touch unlucky here last month; his claims are obvious
9 (9)	My Boy Jack Chestnut J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Kevin Frost	J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Kevin Frost	126	b	124622	50	72	61	17d	—	—	+3	11.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Turned over as favourite the past twice but ran well each time and enters calculations

Five-time C&D winner who lacks consistency these days; capable if in the mood
7 (6)	Shark Two One Bay J:Alec Voikhansky T:Jessica Macey	J:Alec Voikhansky T:Jessica Macey	128	b	455639	52	72	-	14d	—	—	-3	4.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
No surprise to see him bounce back off a career-low mark, having lost a shoe last time
12 (11)	Blackcurrent Bay J:Paula Muir T:Alan Brown	J:Paula Muir T:Alan Brown	121	p	444655	45	74	62	21d	—	—	-3	1.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Entitled to have needed his recent comeback from a seven-month absence here; considered

Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly
10 (1)	Tathmeen Bay J:Callum Hutchinson T:Antony Brittain	J:Callum Hutchinson T:Antony Brittain	124	p	958564	48	70	61	18d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
