Latest form here now reads well and he's raised in distance for handicap debut
1	Jazz King Grey J:Murray Dodd(7) T:Alastair Ralph	J:Murray Dodd(7) T:Alastair Ralph	168	—	PP-521	110	113	103	44d	—	—	+4	19.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Up 6lb for his hard-fought Hereford win but the runner-up has won since
4	Diamond Dealer Chestnut J:Jack Quinlan T:B F Brookhouse	J:Jack Quinlan T:B F Brookhouse	166	t	445-15	108	108	90	55d	—	—	+2	19.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Novice winner but ran no race last time; it's hard to know what to expect on h'cap debut
5	Horsesomeharry Bay J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Charlie Maggs(7) T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	162	p	P66-17	104	109	87	25d	—	—	+6	16.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Won his first handicap and soft ground reportedly not ideal last time
9	Looking Splendid Bay J:Bruce Lynn T:Gary Rutherford	J:Bruce Lynn T:Gary Rutherford	154	—	8-5P42	96	108	77	27d	—	—	+6	13.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
0-9 but looks mildly progressive after pushing the winner close at Musselburgh
2	Chasingouttheblues Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	167	—	3-3517	109	105	83	25d	—	—	+12	18.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Maiden winner; poor last time; doesn't look obviously well treated for handicap debut
6	Bridge Court Bay J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	J:Ryan Mania T:Sandy Thomson	162	t	/20-43	104	105	78	37d	—	—	+9	15.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Pleasing final run and today's step up in trip heightens interest on handicap debut
7	Glen Road Brown J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	J:Peter Kavanagh(3) T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	158	—	8-P603	100	103	52	19d	—	—	+9	13.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Goes handicapping on the back of an improved third in a 2m soft-ground novice here
8	Joie More Bay J:Nick Scholfield T:Jackie Stephen	J:Nick Scholfield T:Jackie Stephen	155	—	62-585	97	112	67	18d	—	—	+9	12.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Second in a maiden but hasn't been that threatening in any of his handicaps
NR	Just Chasing May Bay J:Callum Pritchard(7) T:Ben Pauling	J:Callum Pritchard(7) T:Ben Pauling	153	—	-F1223	95	113	88	28d	—	—	—	23	—	—
Consistent and in form; latest third came on ground that would have been too soft
