Dual Chepstow winner this year; third in a stronger event over C&D 13 days ago

0-6 though he has shown some ability; not sure dropping back in trip is the answer
4 (6)	Keats House Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	132	—	123414	67	77	-	26d	—	—	+6	16	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Two wins this year; fourth off this mark at Ayr last time; needs a bit more
11 (5)	Perfidia Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	123	p	542369	58	81	-	27d	—	—	-1	7.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
1-20; below form the last twice and would prefer the ground to dry out further
5 (1)	Into Combat Bay J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	131	—	8-678	66	76	-	28d	—	—	-2	6.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Didn't stay 1m2f on handicap debut; no great surprise if he shows more back down in trip
7 (3)	Final Night Bay J:David Egan T:John Butler	J:David Egan T:John Butler	131	—	072461	66	80	-	14d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+10	17.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
8lb higher than when off the mark at Kempton a fortnight ago; more will be required
3 (2)	Reddeef Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Keady	J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Keady	133	tb	-64473	68	80	-	43d	—	—	+2	9.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Has shown ability, but 0-10; isn't progressing and needs to find extra; blinkers on
10 (7)	Drumcondra Chestnut J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	127	b	588224	62	80	-	22d	—	—	+5	10.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Twice runner-up after the blinkers went on; ground probably too soft last time
8 (8)	Jachin Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Ivan Furtado	J:Tom Eaves T:Ivan Furtado	130	—	706501	65	81	-	26d	—	—	+10	15.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Will need a bit more from 6lb higher back on turf after his Newcastle win
6 (10)	Twilight Ice Bay J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	131	—	885	66	76	-	21d	—	—	+1	5.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Dam's side of pedigree offers encouragement up a furlong on handicap debut
1 (9)	Spec Of Light Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:David Loughnane	J:Jack Mitchell T:David Loughnane	135	—	5-7217	70	76	-	142d	—	—	+3	5.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Didn't fire on turf debut at Windsor in May and off five months since; enough to prove
