Looked a useful prospect in beating the odds-on favourite without much fuss at Windsor
1	Palacio Bay J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	164	t	95-13	-	132	95	33d	—	—	-21	9.4	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Went off too fast at Cheltenham last month and this is a whole lot easier
6	Renoir Bay J:Harry Kimber T:Ben Clarke	J:Harry Kimber T:Ben Clarke	157	—	3/8-2	-	109	31	29d	—	—	+2	8.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
1m4f winner; questionable what he achieved when a remote second at Wincanton
13	Edmond Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	150	—	3/1-58	-	107	90	33d	—	—	+3	10.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Bumper winner; back from an absence she's offered little in two maiden hurdles
3	King Ulanda Bay J:Henry Brooke T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Henry Brooke T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	157	—	165	-	105	63	25d	—	—	+2	6.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Bumper winner; some promise over hurdles but unlikely to be winning this
12	Damzon Bay J:Ben Poste T:James Evans	J:Ben Poste T:James Evans	150	b	-25U6U	-	104	44	25d	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Fair effort when unseating here last time but would have been fourth at best
4	Midnight View Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:Matt Sheppard	J:Stan Sheppard T:Matt Sheppard	157	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
6,000gns foal out of a useful 2m2f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner
10	Washington Singer Bay J:Harry Reed T:Chris Gordon	J:Harry Reed T:Chris Gordon	157	—	3-8	-	-	-	60d	—	—	+1	2.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
First bumper run was encouraging and that offers hope ahead of this hurdling debut
7	Soldier Dan Brown J:Adam Wedge T:L J Morgan	J:Adam Wedge T:L J Morgan	157	—	P3F/87	-	88	32	19d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
0-5 in points and comfortably held in two hurdle races following an absence
8	Sonic Gold Bay J:Brendan Powell T:John O'Shea	J:Brendan Powell T:John O'Shea	157	—	/00/P/	-	-	-	662d	—	—	0	0.1	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Has shown little promise under rules and is returning from another absence
9	Tracking Treasure Chestnut J:Richard Patrick T:Matt Sheppard	J:Richard Patrick T:Matt Sheppard	157	—	467	-	-	-	64d	—	—	-1	0.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Not beaten far in a Fairyhouse bumper but was last of the seven runners
11	Cinderello Chestnut J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	J:Harry Bannister T:Alex Hales	150	—	599	-	63	21	25d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Soundly beaten in two bumpers and suffered the same fate on her hurdling debut
