Bang there in two 1m handicaps; blinkers replace cheekpieces and hard to rule out
2 (1)	Sword Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	135	h	2621-0	82	91	89	18d	—	—	-7	14.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
1m2f winner; too free over 7f on return and stable debut; now hooded
7 (7)	Infinity Blue Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Julie Camacho	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Julie Camacho	127	h	7472-3	74	94	86	32d	—	—	-2	13.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Rallying third over Musselburgh's 7f a month ago; this stiffer track looks favourable
5 (4)	Jungle Land Brown J:Callum Shepherd T:George Boughey	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Boughey	134	p	27-124	81	93	-	54d	—	—	-3	12.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
2-12; arrives here in pretty good nick but has stamina to prove over 7f
3 (5)	Liamarty Dreams Bay J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	134	p	-40048	81	92	72	17d	—	—	+1	10.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Without a win in 13 months; his fourth at Chester two runs back could prove a false dawn
4 (3)	Chalk Mountain Grey J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	134	t	6278-3	81	94	63	27d	—	—	+5	13.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
The nagging concern is that all five wins and best form has been on the AW
6 (6)	Manhattan Mirage Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Adrian Wintle	J:Rossa Ryan T:Adrian Wintle	130	h	27523-	77	88	58	228d	—	—	+10	15.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Showed promise in the Amo colours and has dropped to a realistic mark for handicap debut
