8 (8)	Wide Margin Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	133	—	5589-4	73	75	27	15d	—	—	-10	12.6	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Initial mark stiff but longer trip may help him find improvement now entering handicaps.
3 (1)	State Flag Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:Tom Ward	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Tom Ward	135	—	174123	75	86	60	23d	—	—	+4	23.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
In good form; dam won over 1m2f; could benefit from this step up in trip; interesting.
12 (5)	Between Me And U Bay J:Dylan Hogan T:Michael Herrington	J:Dylan Hogan T:Michael Herrington	130	t	659124	70	81	64	25d	—	—	+4	17.5	1.50/1	6/1 14%
C&D winner who arrives in good form and should again be a contender.
6 (7)	Commander Of Life Bay J:P J McDonald T:Jessica Macey	J:P J McDonald T:Jessica Macey	135	—	204432	75	83	73	10d	—	—	+4	17	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Beat all bar the favourite latest; a reproduction of that effort would see him involved.
7 (3)	Kracking Grey J:Kaiya Fraser(3) T:Stuart Williams	J:Kaiya Fraser(3) T:Stuart Williams	134	ht	721210	70	84	59	34d	—	—	+13	20.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Well beaten in better company on turf latest but not ruled out back down in grade on AW.
5 (9)	Surprise Picture Bay J:Harrison Shaw T:Grant Tuer	J:Harrison Shaw T:Grant Tuer	135	—	281278	71	83	69	15d	—	—	+6	12.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Below par on his last two starts but he's a player from this mark if bouncing back.
10 (4)	Embarked Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	130	b	233916	66	83	74	8d	—	—	+6	14.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
7f course winner; stays 1m but all his better efforts have been over 7f
4 (2)	Climate Action Bay J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:James Owen	J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:James Owen	135	—	2-8259	75	80	-	16d	—	—	+4	11.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Heavy ground a possible excuse on handicap debut; dropped 2lb; revival needed.
2 (6)	Island Bandit Chestnut J:Luke Morris T:Heather Main	J:Luke Morris T:Heather Main	137	b	6-7470	73	81	53	23d	—	—	+2	7.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Drops 3lb and in grade after being beaten at Kempton; may be able to get more competitive.
1 (10)	Gavi Di Gavi Bay J:Oscar Palmer(7) T:Alan King	J:Oscar Palmer(7) T:Alan King	138	p	5-2770	74	81	60	161d	—	—	+3	7.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Well treated on his best AW form but has a bit to prove on his return from a break.
NR (11)	Sunny Corner Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Stuart Kittow	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Stuart Kittow	131	—	121157	71	81	-	43d	—	—	+11	15.5	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Handicapper has looked in control on last two starts; more needed back on AW.
11 (12)	Triggered Bay J:Finley Marsh T:Mark Loughnane	J:Finley Marsh T:Mark Loughnane	130	—	445608	66	77	72	28d	—	—	0	5.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Has been given a chance by the handicapper but there wasn't much sign of a revival latest.
