Came good with a hard-fought C&D win last month on soft ground; just 2lb higher
5 (3)	Travis Bay J:David Allan T:Geoffrey Harker	J:David Allan T:Geoffrey Harker	137	p	274144	62	73	66	16d	—	—	-2	12	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has the cheekpieces back on now and a solid pace to chase would help the cause
6 (11)	Miakoda Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	135	tv	642121	65	73	64	11d	—	—	+13	28.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Did it well at Brighton and a 4lb rise doesn't look overly troublesome
2 (2)	Saisons d'Or Grey J:Billy Garritty T:Jedd O'Keeffe	J:Billy Garritty T:Jedd O'Keeffe	140	—	013523	65	72	58	20d	—	—	+5	16.5	1.75/1	7/1 13%

Back to winning ways at Musselburgh and effectively off the same mark here
9 (6)	Koji Bay J:Dale Swift T:Seb Spencer	J:Dale Swift T:Seb Spencer	131	—	19-961	56	69	63	16d	—	—	-5	4	2.25/1	9/1 10%

4 (1)	Coconut Bay Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Tristan Davidson	J:Rowan Scott T:Tristan Davidson	138	—	131186	63	72	57	10d	—	—	+6	14.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Was in good form until her last two races; behind Patontheback last time
1 (5)	The Green Man Bay J:David Nolan T:Danny Brooke	J:David Nolan T:Danny Brooke	140	tv	-65079	65	67	52	12d	—	—	-1	5.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Four-time winner but his profile is regressive and hasn't shown much since a wind op
11 (8)	Reputation Bay J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	131	—	-24465	56	66	54	17d	—	—	-2	4.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
A 12yo now consistent in the main and couldn't dismiss; solid latest effort
8 (4)	Pink Petunia Chestnut J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Micky Hammond	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Micky Hammond	132	—	76-240	62	68	-	140d	—	—	+2	3.2	31.25/1	125/1 1%

Hinted at winning potential in handicaps and dropping back to 6f backfired at Thirsk
