Good third of 17 at Chepstow (2m7f) last time and is a big player if she can build on that
3	Despereaux Bay J:Freddie Gingell T:Jane Williams	J:Freddie Gingell T:Jane Williams	161	p	48-830	97	110	80	28d	—	—	0	16.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Has been largely disappointing in handicaps and has plenty to prove at this new trip
4	Galway Reel Bay J:Ben Bromley T:Ian Williams	J:Ben Bromley T:Ian Williams	154	p	558693	90	110	99	35d	—	—	0	18.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
0-9 but was placed at Fakenham (2m4f) last time and he could find more back up in trip
1	Kazontherazz Bay J:Daire McConville(5) T:Martin Keighley	J:Daire McConville(5) T:Martin Keighley	168	—	323-00	104	113	81	107d	—	—	+1	18.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
On dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track after another break
2	Bits N Pieces Chestnut J:Finn Lambert(3) T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Finn Lambert(3) T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	163	—	942	100	97	64	22d	—	—	+13	19.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Some promise in both runs over hurdles and needs close look upped to 3m on handicap debut
6	Extra Cover Bay J:Alice Stevens T:Henry Daly	J:Alice Stevens T:Henry Daly	145	—	488-9	81	101	52	31d	—	—	+3	9.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Half-sister to Thyme Hill and she could show a lot more now switched to a staying handicap
7	Elfride Chestnut J:Harry Atkins(5) T:Richard Phillips	J:Harry Atkins(5) T:Richard Phillips	142	t	P7-768	78	98	65	28d	—	—	+4	8.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Sole win was in May 2023 and she's generally struggled since; 6lb out of weights here
