Didn't get much luck over C&D on penultimate run and he's a big player on that form
4 (8)	Box To Box Bay J:Jack Doughty T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jack Doughty T:Hugo Palmer	132	v	088575	82	100	82	21d	—	—	-4	13	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Losing run is up to 18 and has faded at Chester in his two runs this season; down the list
5 (9)	She's A Warrior Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	131	—	313-6	81	94	-	20d	—	—	-4	12.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
4yo who still has untapped potential and could be a big factor in her second handicap
3 (5)	Bodorgan Grey J:Billy Garritty T:Edward Bethell	J:Billy Garritty T:Edward Bethell	133	t	247-33	83	98	79	19d	—	—	-3	12.7	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Runner-up in this race last year and has gone close in both runs for new yard this season

Unexposed 4yo who wasn't far behind Bodorgan at Wetherby and he should have more to offer
8 (7)	Woodstock City Bay J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Ian Williams	J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Ian Williams	124	—	55-742	74	98	79	23d	—	—	0	8.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Returned to form with a good second at Yarmouth last month and has each-way claims again
7 (3)	Fast Steps Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Rod Millman	J:Tom Eaves T:Rod Millman	127	—	728-73	77	98	88	33d	—	—	+2	8.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
On workable mark and was placed at Windsor latest; dangerous if he can back that up
1 (1)	Pearl Eye Bay J:Adam Farragher T:Darryll Holland	J:Adam Farragher T:Darryll Holland	136	b	-41950	86	97	79	43d	—	—	+8	13.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Beat 20 rivals at Doncaster (1m) in March but he's not matched that since; risks attached
