Two good runs this year and rain won't bother him; yet to shine at Ripon though

6f win at Leicester on return; similar form under penalty latest; rain perhaps not ideal
5 (10)	Enderman Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	132	v	457-66	51	63	50	30d	—	—	-8	3.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon run; dangerous mark and rain no problem
7 (4)	Hurstwood Grey J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Peter Niven	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Peter Niven	131	—	525792	50	67	66	12d	—	—	-3	9.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
1st and 2nd in the last two runnings; good second at Thirsk 12 days ago; solid candidate
10 (15)	Juryman Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	130	p	070-94	49	66	46	12d	—	—	-6	2.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Not beaten far at Thirsk (behind Hurstwood) 12 days ago; rain would aid his cause
12 (8)	Missmimi Bay J:Sean D Bowen T:Tina Jackson	J:Sean D Bowen T:Tina Jackson	127	—	32127-	46	68	55	226d	—	—	+4	13.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
AW win last September (6f); has run well over C&D; yard in fine form; considered
2 (5)	Canaria Queen Black J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	134	—	45-735	53	64	35	11d	—	—	-4	2.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Not at best here 11 days ago but rain won't hurt and she's fully effective at 6f
3 (2)	Eldeyaar Brown J:Charlie Bennett T:Antony Brittain	J:Charlie Bennett T:Antony Brittain	133	p	3-0650	52	63	62	93d	—	—	-3	4.8	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Two C&D wins to his name and 5lb lower than for the latest; not at best so far this year
4 (9)	Bellagio Man Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	132	v	365304	51	70	-	28d	—	—	-4	4.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
2023 turf form gives him a squeak off his lowly mark; risky but could go well
15 (12)	Miss Rainbow Bay J:Dale Swift T:Tracy Waggott	J:Dale Swift T:Tracy Waggott	126	—	6087-6	45	60	41	38d	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Exposed maiden but her reappearance wasn't without hope; each-way claims
8 (11)	Elliott Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Rebecca Menzies	131	tv	4560-9	50	63	64	31d	—	—	-5	1.7	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Disappointing favourite on his return to Britain; change of headgear today; risky
11 (1)	Better Bay J:Barry McHugh T:Paul Midgley	J:Barry McHugh T:Paul Midgley	129	—	-76085	48	66	43	12d	—	—	-3	1.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Lower rating on turf but with some justification; laboured sixth at Thirsk 12 days ago
13 (6)	Fumbleinthejungle Bay J:Ethan Jones(5) T:John David Riches	J:Ethan Jones(5) T:John David Riches	126	p	505/08	45	57	30	13d	—	—	-1	0.3	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Finished last in both runs back from mammoth absence; new cheekpieces not enough to tempt
NR (3)	Tickets Bay J:TBC T:Ben Haslam	J: T:Ben Haslam	135	—	318841	54	65	42	38d	—	—	—	13	—	—
Better on AW but handicapped accordingly and won well at Redcar last month

Yet to win at 6f and not hit top form so far this year; others appeal more
