1m4f winner last time and interesting now sent further as his dam was a smart stayer

Didn't run badly over 1m2f (h'cap debut) and this sort of trip could be the making of him

9 (9)	Navalanche Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	127	—	57-64	67	78	59	34d	—	—	+1	5.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Fourth of seven on handicap debut (1m3f) and wasn't helped by the lack of pace

Qualifying runs at about 1m4f weren't overly encouraging with a view to handicaps
NR (4)	Nelson Gate Bay J:TBC T:Gary & Josh Moore	J: T:Gary & Josh Moore	120	b	479-92	60	81	50	20d	—	—	—	2.5	—	—
