Improved form when second here last month; big player if handling this less testing ground
2	Joecooker Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Rebecca Menzies	162	—	163156	120	125	100	21d	—	—	+8	30.1	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Solid candidate who was respectable sixth in C&D handicap three weeks ago
3	Malicash Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	J:Brian Hughes T:Donald McCain	162	—	8-2541	117	117	91	33d	—	—	+7	20.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Gained breakthrough win at Carlisle last month after wind surgery; more progress possible

Dead-heated in point in November; that form looks modest but he's respected on rules debut
4	Harry Bright Bay J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell(3) T:Dan Skelton	156	—	656	-	103	57	13d	—	—	-2	0.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Unplaced in bumpers/novice hurdle; lots to find but this step up in distance looks a plus

Little promise in three outings to date; difficult to recommend
