1	Le Ligerien Bay J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	167	t	2548-3	121	134	111	43d	—	—	+5	27.4	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Well treated; had wind op and was a good 3rd back from a break; one to take seriously.
4	Thor De Cerisy Bay J:Dylan Johnston T:Neil Mulholland	J:Dylan Johnston T:Neil Mulholland	164	tp	F11P-0	118	132	89	41d	—	—	+1	23.7	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Failed to get involved on October's seasonal return and others have stronger claims.
5	Gallic Geordie Bay J:Ned Fox T:Samuel Drinkwater	J:Ned Fox T:Samuel Drinkwater	161	—	51357-	115	125	110	319d	—	—	+6	26.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Largely reliable 11yo but out of sorts when last seen and returns with a point to prove.
2	Top Ville Ben Bay J:Luke Scott T:Jennie Candlish	J:Luke Scott T:Jennie Candlish	166	—	28P5-5	120	128	67	219d	—	—	+9	20.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Useful chaser at best; on a good mark; needs change of scenery to have sparked a revival.
6	Saint Xavier Bay J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Richard Hobson	J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Richard Hobson	156	tv	6/P4-5	110	125	86	22d	—	—	+8	17.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Lightly raced in recent years but his Fontwell return after an absence was encouraging.
3	Bushypark Bay J:Joe Williamson T:Philip Kirby	J:Joe Williamson T:Philip Kirby	164	p	15P62-	118	125	11	238d	—	—	+18	25.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Responded well to the cheekpieces when last seen in April and chance if in the same form.
