Comes from last, winning at Worcester and Uttoxeter on his last two starts

12l win at Perth last time and has been raised 10lb but that probably underestimates him
4	Invictus World Bay J:Dylan Johnston T:Gerald Stephen Quinn	J:Dylan Johnston T:Gerald Stephen Quinn	158	t	14F-3F	117	124	77	71d	—	—	+9	19.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Fell in two handicaps, minor honours in the other two; first crack at 3m makes some appeal
5	City Derby Chestnut J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Lizzie Quinlan	J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Lizzie Quinlan	158	p	211113	117	122	102	31d	—	—	+28	40.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Four-timer at Cartmel this summer; latest start suggests this mark might be a bit harsh
3	Bridge North Bay J:Alice Stevens T:Henry Daly	J:Alice Stevens T:Henry Daly	165	v	4PF3U-	124	126	110	185d	—	—	+13	20.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Disappointing over fences last term; fell/unseated in two of three runs back over hurdles
6	Chris Cool Bay J:Toby Wynne(3) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Toby Wynne(3) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	155	p	23313-	114	124	116	186d	—	—	+17	34.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Started and ended last season well in staying handicaps, finishing in career-best form
7	Polish Bay J:Leah Noreci(10) T:James Moffatt	J:Leah Noreci(10) T:James Moffatt	155	p	3P2-FP	114	123	-	62d	—	—	+12	17.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Second run for this yard; highly questionable whether he can capitalise on a good mark
