Best run yet when second five days ago, place claims despite the quick turnaround.
2	Stinginhisstep Bay J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	J:Sean Houlihan T:Sue Gardner	165	—	9-2131	97	97	85	32d	—	—	+1	16.2	5/1 17%
Resumed progress with a comfortable win over C&D last month; key player off the 9lb rise.
11	Hill Station Bay J:Luke Scott(5) T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	J:Luke Scott(5) T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	148	t	/62263	80	102	100	36d	—	—	+4	18.9	5/1 17%
13-race maiden; twice a runner-up here in June but looks vulnerable at this trip/mark.
9	Lady Henrietta Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Ben Pauling	J:Sean Bowen T:Ben Pauling	149	—	66PP-4	81	100	48	35d	—	—	-1	11.4	7/1 13%
Struggled last season but produced an improved effort on last month's stable debut.
10	Square Du Roule Bay J:James Davies T:Nigel Hawke	J:James Davies T:Nigel Hawke	148	p	4-3422	80	100	90	32d	—	—	+1	10.2	8/1 11%
0-11 over hurdles but has improved for wind surgery and the new headgear may help.
4	Charlie My Boy Grey J:Harry Cobden T:J R Jenkins	J:Harry Cobden T:J R Jenkins	163	—	P78-14	95	100	90	51d	—	—	+5	13.8	12/1 8%
Ran well enough off this mark at Stratford despite the race not going ideally; player.
8	Colonel Lesley Grey J:Brian Hughes T:Richard Hawker	J:Brian Hughes T:Richard Hawker	150	p	25-626	82	102	91	32d	—	—	+3	9.7	18/1 5%
Hasn't won for three years but often placed and may do so again with Brian Hughes booked.
6	Catboy Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	153	—	0-546P	85	106	84	32d	—	—	+6	10	20/1 5%
Struggled since September's Fontwell win and has not progressed over fences this summer.
7	Baikal Bay J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Grace Harris	151	p	906-41	83	101	74	—	—	—	+5	9.5	18/1 5%
3lb higher for his Stratford win but he's been consistent under both codes this year.
1	Songo Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Richard Hawker	J:Robert Dunne T:Richard Hawker	168	ht	45-P04	100	103	56	38d	—	—	+9	13.7	22/1 4%
Back to form latest with a tongue-tie on; has undergone wind surgery since; interesting.
3	Whispering Royal Bay J:James Best T:Barry Brennan	J:James Best T:Barry Brennan	163	—	/74-53	95	101	100	78d	—	—	+9	12.2	28/1 3%
Yet to add to his 2023 hurdle win but ran well off a reduced mark last time; considered.
5	Ben Lomond Bay J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	155	p	3-U338	87	103	43	35d	—	—	+10	11.7	66/1 1%
Placed in a bumper and a 2m novice hurdle but has struggled since, drops back in trip.
12	Greystoke Bay J:Ben Godfrey T:Jimmy Frost	J:Ben Godfrey T:Jimmy Frost	144	t	98P05-	76	104	73	124d	—	—	+5	7.1	80/1 1%
Has come a long way down in the weights but returns from a break with enough to prove.
