Runner-up both hurdles starts, improving at Ffos Las on latest; probably the one to beat
10	Just Call Me Lucy Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	147	—	4178-3	-	108	93	29d	—	—	-10	8.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Only third when odds-on for hurdle debut but needs considering on quite useful bumper form
5	Rumoursareflying Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Pam Sly	J:Paul O'Brien T:Pam Sly	154	—	224-25	107	127	111	19d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+5	17.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
0-8 over hurdles but frequently in the frame and should be thereabouts
2	High Dancer Bay J:Ryan Mania T:James Ewart	J:Ryan Mania T:James Ewart	154	—	55-13	-	115	92	42d	—	—	-8	3.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Soft-ground point winner; might have needed run on hurdling debut; has to be considered
7	Too Cool Forshrule Bay J:Henry Brooke T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Henry Brooke T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	154	—	P2-	-	-	-	—	—	—	+2	4.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pulled up on point debut but showed more when second in April; worth a market check
9	Chalk That Down Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	147	—	25/	-	-	-	675d	—	—	+2	4	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Shaped well on bumper debut, folded tamely next time; now goes hurdling after long break
3	Moonlight Monarch Grey J:Mr Paddy Barlow(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Mr Paddy Barlow(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	154	—	2/	-	-	-	692d	—	—	+4	5.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Form of his Kelso second is shaky and he's been off nearly two years since
11	Stellarmasterpiece Grey J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	147	h	F	-	-	-	32d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Flat winner; showed little on hurdling debut at Sedgefield last month; others appeal more
NR	Reel Rosie Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	154	—	41	-	103	59	23d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Built on hurdling debut when winning at Sedgefield; now penalised and taking on males
NR	Sam's Falcon Chestnut J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Dianne Sayer	J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Dianne Sayer	154	—	956	-	113	79	18d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Showed something to build on on hurdles debut; probably of more interest when handicapping

0-13 on Flat and well beaten at long odds in two attempts over hurdles; hard to recommend
