Reverts to chasing on workable mark but others have less to prove than this 16-race maiden

Three-time chase winner; has conditions to suit here but needs to better last two runs
4	Ryder's Rock Bay J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	158	t	U4P-14	84	98	88	72d	—	—	-4	13.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won from unlikely position here (2m5f) in May but the form looks rather dubious

Has mixed record since course win in September but is 5lb lower now; could have a say

Safely held in first two chases but not without some encouragement; moves up in trip here
NR	My Girl Katie Bay J:TBC T:Grace Harris	J: T:Grace Harris	159	—	114121	85	100	87	3d	—	—	—	29.3	—	—
