3 (5)	Midnight Rodeo Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:George Scott	J:Paul Mulrennan T:George Scott	133	—	786	62	64	28	20d	—	—	-23	15.5	0.38/1	6/4 40%
Could improve for going 1m on handicap debut as the dam stayed well
2 (7)	Port Darwin Chestnut J:Connor Beasley T:Charlie Johnston	J:Connor Beasley T:Charlie Johnston	135	—	575	64	66	50	13d	—	—	-12	10.2	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Perhaps flattered from the front when running his best race; handicap debut
4 (6)	Time Twister Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	132	—	706	61	68	41	13d	—	—	-5	5.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Should be more competitive in handicaps but hard to make a solid case
5 (1)	Lexington Express Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Alice Haynes	J:Rowan Scott T:Alice Haynes	132	p	05534	61	67	35	18d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-2	7.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Could have done with a truer pace when dropped in from the widest stall at Thirsk
7 (2)	Shes Got The Blues Bay J:Barry McHugh T:Richard Fahey	J:Barry McHugh T:Richard Fahey	125	—	778	54	66	27	12d	—	—	-5	3.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Poor so far but she is at least bred for this longer trip she faces on handicap debut
1 (4)	Panthere Noir Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J:Tom Eaves T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	135	—	644	64	63	33	17d	—	0W/0P 2 runs	-2	5.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Handicapper hasn't taken any chances but he's up to 1m here
6 (3)	Preminision Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	128	—	50443	57	67	37	18d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Just ahead of Lexington Express at Thirsk when both could have done with a stronger pace
