Promising sixth under a patient ride at Newcastle latest; more to offer; a likely player
10	Larkfield Lusive Bay J:Danny McMenamin T:L J Morgan	J:Danny McMenamin T:L J Morgan	153	—	85567F	80	99	80	52d	—	—	-6	13.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Is 0-16 but still in touch when falling three out at Warwick latest; no forlorn hope

Run best ignored when 11th at Newcastle latest, all but falling four out; possibilities
6	Dickens Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	162	h	3/4-5F	89	102	44	72d	—	—	0	15.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%

Beat just one in 2m6f Newcastle handicap hurdle in January; others are preferred
