Big step forward with Kempton win (7f, AW) on handicap debut; 5lb rise looks manageable

Exposed ten-race maiden; hopes rest on the return to turf sparking something extra
9 (5)	Moby Quick Bay J:Charles Bishop T:George Scott	J:Charles Bishop T:George Scott	131	p	3-2482	68	82	58	21d	—	—	+1	8.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Has the ability to feature off this mark but looked a tricky ride at Doncaster last time
11 (9)	Blue Anthem Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	130	—	05-158	67	78	23	80d	—	—	-2	6.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
7f AW win on handicap debut; no progress since (1m/6f); break needs to revive fortunes

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Brighton last month (only four ran); this demands more
4 (2)	Eliza Bennet Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Fanshawe	J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Fanshawe	135	—	972-5	72	79	8	46d	—	—	-1	7.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%

1m AW win in February; well held in two stronger races on turf this spring
13 (6)	Ridgeway Redwing Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Denis Coakley	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Denis Coakley	117	—	576-	54	75	49	306d	—	—	-4	2.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Should be better suited by handicapping but improvement needed back from ten months off
10 (3)	Cuban Girl Bay J:Callum Hutchinson T:Andrew Balding	J:Callum Hutchinson T:Andrew Balding	130	h	370-9	67	78	56	19d	—	—	+1	5.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Always behind when 28-1 for recent seasonal/handicap debut (6f, AW); hood returns today

Didn't live up to market billing in first two handicaps; improvement needed back on turf

Best 2yo run came over C&D; not seen to best effect on AW on stable debut; contender
NR (8)	Key Witness Bay J:TBC T:Archie Watson	J: T:Archie Watson	135	—	61	72	84	-	30d	—	—	—	15.5	—	—
Green on debut but much more savvy when making all at Chelmsford last month; more to come
