2-5 for his 2m4f hat-trick bid, which did not work out, but maybe the run came too soon
7	Another Lord Chestnut J:James Bowen T:Peter & Michael Bowen	J:James Bowen T:Peter & Michael Bowen	157	—	-27242	89	107	70	10d	—	—	+7	22.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Second in two of his three chases, behind Airtothethrone over C&D (good to soft) last time
11	Try The Money Bay J:David Noonan T:Henry Oliver	J:David Noonan T:Henry Oliver	143	—	-47P3F	75	103	70	47d	—	—	-4	10.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
11-race maiden but his three completions at Ffos Las were among his best ratings
1	Airtothethrone Bay J:Lewis Saunders(7) T:Billy Aprahamian	J:Lewis Saunders(7) T:Billy Aprahamian	175	p	2-4461	107	109	78	10d	—	—	+9	21.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Second run for the yard was a C&D win from Another Lord ten days ago, with tongue-tie off
2	Sadler's Bay Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	168	t	23-333	100	109	81	65d	—	—	+4	15.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
0-7 over hurdles and the same over fences but a consistent sort for Tom Gretton; new yard
3	Bampton Star Bay J:Chad Bament(7) T:Jeremy Scott	J:Chad Bament(7) T:Jeremy Scott	168	tp	15-361	100	108	75	40d	—	—	+6	15.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
3-6 over fences, the wins all over 3m at Exeter; looks competitive
4	Shot Boii Bay J:Fergus Gillard T:David Pipe	J:Fergus Gillard T:David Pipe	167	tv	833643	99	109	86	40d	—	—	+12	18.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Can front-run, as when third off this reduced mark behind Bampton Star at Exeter last time
10	Lelant Bay J:Ellis Collier(5) T:Evan Williams	J:Ellis Collier(5) T:Evan Williams	151	t	668PF3	83	111	87	52d	—	—	+5	11.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
0-18; well weighted on some form last season but has not shown it in recent outings
5	Record High Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Suzy Smith	J:Micheal Nolan T:Suzy Smith	167	—	-8P321	99	103	50	52d	—	—	+23	28.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in February; has missed engagements when the ground was good
6	Perfect Pupil Bay J:Daire McConville(7) T:Martin Keighley	J:Daire McConville(7) T:Martin Keighley	159	p	699044	91	104	101	21d	—	—	+7	11.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Has not made a serious impact with cheekpieces enlisted for his two runs for new yard
9	Imperial Storm Chestnut J:Mr James Shaw(7) T:Sue Gardner	J:Mr James Shaw(7) T:Sue Gardner	155	p	60UUP4	87	-	-	14d	—	—	+7	10.1	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Badly out of form over hurdles and there didn't seem to be positives switched to chasing
NR	Pennant Legacy Bay J:Harry Reed T:Debra Hamer	J:Harry Reed T:Debra Hamer	142	p	9076	74	-	-	185d	—	—	—	6	—	—
