Runner-up on last month's seasonal/handicap debut and should have more to offer
3	Holeshot Bay J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	166	—	2F-425	98	100	87	71d	—	—	-1	17.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Respectable fifth over 2m on handicap debut and ought to be suited by today's longer trip
4	Don't Tell Rosie Grey J:Bryan Carver T:Jeremy Scott	J:Bryan Carver T:Jeremy Scott	164	h	564	96	96	61	14d	—	—	-1	16.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Fair fourth in recent 2m novice here but her tendency to race too freely is a worry

Reverts to hurdling after disappointing chase run and a wind op; on a good mark
8	Stage Show Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Alexandra Dunn	146	t	644607	78	101	96	19d	—	—	0	9.7	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Tailed off twice last month; looks risky but drying ground and/or tongue-tie may help him
6	Torre Del Oro Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	J:Rex Dingle T:Chris Gordon	161	—	76U	93	87	39	68d	—	—	+8	12	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Useful at his best on the Flat; made quiet start to hurdling career but remains unexposed
5	Lady Showtime Bay J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	J:David Noonan T:Nigel Hawke	161	—	7-6634	93	90	72	216d	—	—	+8	11.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Made frame in two maidens last summer (2m3f/2m); has fitness to prove on handicap debut
7	Yorgunnabeplucky Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	159	p	3-5057	91	91	64	62d	—	—	+10	13.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Did not show much in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles but might improve now up in trip
