Recent hurdles win augurs well although ground possibly on the quick side
2	Final Orders Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	161	—	470063	135	147	132	28d	—	—	+15	27.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%

14	Hands Of Gold Bay J:Simon Torrens T:A L T Moore	J:Simon Torrens T:A L T Moore	140	—	88P-FP	114	140	-	22d	—	—	+11	17.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Hard to fancy but longer trip and better ground could see improvement
R17	Wine An Dine Bay J:L P Dempsey T:Gordon Elliott	J:L P Dempsey T:Gordon Elliott	140	tb	352504	114	138	108	28d	—	—	+14	18.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
