Came clear in a C&D handicap in May; up the weights here but in a weak race

0-9; hasn't always looked the easiest and doesn't appear to be that well handicapped
5	Gms Prince Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Sarah Hollinshead	J:Robert Dunne T:Sarah Hollinshead	161	t	56-877	88	103	85	88d	—	—	+6	10.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Similar sort of form in last three handicaps without genuinely threatening
3	Spitfire Bridge Bay J:Marc Goldstein T:Sheena West	J:Marc Goldstein T:Sheena West	163	p	-5245P	91	96	82	25d	—	—	+7	11.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Finished second on the Flat and over hurdles; forgettable recent form in handicaps
1	Mac's Xpress Chestnut J:Ben Poste T:Clare Ellam	J:Ben Poste T:Clare Ellam	166	tp	447598	93	97	89	24d	—	—	+9	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Ex-Irish gelding who is 0-25 over hurdles and has been hammered in both runs for this yard

Had wind surgery and with a new trainer but has it all to prove on second chase start

Tailed off in all his races and being 10lb out of the weights clearly won't help
