Raised 5lb for coming up short at Taunton (3m) but he looks progressive
1	Copshill Lad Grey J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	168	p	2P-155	109	109	104	22d	—	—	+4	19.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Looks on a tough mark but has each-way claims after his solid start for this yard
5	Time In The Sun Chestnut J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	163	p	2F4-P3	104	109	95	60d	—	—	+4	17.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Stayed on well for third here last time when 2m4f looked an insufficient stamina test
10	Talkingtothemoon Bay J:Ben Godfrey T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Ben Godfrey T:Anthony Honeyball	147	tb	3658/4	88	110	94	28d	—	—	+2	12.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Promising return from a long absence and there could be some upside to him
6	Briefly Bay J:Chad Bament(10) T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Chad Bament(10) T:Anthony Honeyball	162	t	3-3213	103	109	86	180d	—	—	+7	18.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Latest third has worked out well and she's an interesting handicap debutante
4	Patanita Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Georgina Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Georgina Nicholls	164	—	/34-97	105	110	82	57d	—	—	+8	16	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Encouraging run at Ascot after wind surgery and that's something to build on
7	Western Harmony Bay J:Mr Ben Sutton(5) T:Nicky Henderson	J:Mr Ben Sutton(5) T:Nicky Henderson	161	p	44-U33	102	106	59	20d	—	—	+8	14.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Close up but still last of the three in his final novice; this mark looks no gift
9	Can't Say Grey J:Ben Ffrench Davis(5) T:Chris Down	J:Ben Ffrench Davis(5) T:Chris Down	159	—	537-15	100	110	97	45d	—	—	+10	13.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Shock winner last May; ran well for a long way on last month's comeback at Exeter
3	Thruthelookinglass Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	166	—	2/U53/	107	-	-	684d	—	—	+15	18.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Likely improver at 3m but market confidence would be welcomed after so long out

Dangerously unexposed now raised in distance and a tongue-tie is added
