Off the mark over C&D latest, doing it tidily from mid-division on his first go at 2m
2 (6)	Balgowan Chestnut J:George Downing T:Seamus Mullins	J:George Downing T:Seamus Mullins	134	p	/6-224	53	64	43	31d	—	—	-10	5.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
0-20 overall but runner-up in two of his four starts this winter; probably not far away

Often on the premises; unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat; 0-31 record is a disincentive
5 (5)	Toby Tops Bay J:George Wood T:Dylan Cunha	J:George Wood T:Dylan Cunha	131	tb	66-686	53	62	55	23d	—	—	-6	3.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Yet to make a serious impact after six starts, the last three in handicaps this winter

Never dangerous in a first-time hood three weeks ago after layoff, but showed ability
8 (7)	Ocean Ridge Bay J:Robert Havlin T:Thomas Faulkner	J:Robert Havlin T:Thomas Faulkner	127	h	168-59	46	68	64	39d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Won at Wolverhampton last March (unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat); recent efforts unconvincing
1 (3)	Sophar Sogood Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:John Butler	J:Daniel Muscutt T:John Butler	135	b	639-65	54	68	49	35d	—	—	-3	2.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Underperformed this winter; visor replaced cheekpieces last time; first-time blinkers now
6 (2)	Scylla Chestnut J:Marco Ghiani T:Tony Carroll	J:Marco Ghiani T:Tony Carroll	130	b	6-5793	49	64	60	9d	—	—	-3	1.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Close up when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) nine days ago in first-time blinkers
9 (4)	Freewheelin Bay J:Mark Winn T:John Norton	J:Mark Winn T:John Norton	126	—	034-04	46	59	50	14d	—	—	-2	0.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
While he's still capable of the odd minor honour, others are preferred for the win
10 (8)	Kitten's Dream Bay J:Dale Swift T:Scott Dixon	J:Dale Swift T:Scott Dixon	126	p	08060-	46	60	25	90d	—	—	-1	0.3	25.00/1	100/1 1%
No win since February 2023 and he seldom beats more than one rival these days
