3	Upfordebate Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Patrick Neville	J:Brian Hughes T:Patrick Neville	156	t	6-511P	92	109	61	41d	—	—	-12	20.5	0.41/1	13/8 38%
He's been good or bad in four runs over fences; fair mark if he's on his game
5	Emotional Roller Bay J:Peter Kavanagh T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	J:Peter Kavanagh T:Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	154	—	51325-	90	107	95	235d	—	—	0	26	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Can be a hard ride and take some driving, but possibilities if returning in good order
6	Halfway House Lad Bay J:Charlie Price(3) T:Maurice Barnes	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Maurice Barnes	145	t	2-U2P4	81	111	76	12d	—	—	-4	17.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Probably gave his running last time at Ayr (3m, soft) but trailed the winner by about 8l
4	Ballylinch Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	155	tp	41/2-4	91	108	58	25d	—	—	+9	15.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Capable but he ran a laboured race over C&D last month after a long absence
1	Cooper's Cross Bay J:Ross Chapman T:Stuart Coltherd	J:Ross Chapman T:Stuart Coltherd	168	—	PP/785	104	109	87	39d	—	—	+10	14.8	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Little to shout about for a while now and reservations despite this drop in grade
7	West Lawn Bay J:Harry Reed T:James Walton	J:Harry Reed T:James Walton	142	—	33P-56	78	97	58	19d	—	—	+4	8.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Dual hurdle winner but 0-14 as a chaser and recent efforts were none too encouraging
NR	Skyhill Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Alison Hamilton	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Alison Hamilton	161	t	4/14U-	97	109	69	262d	—	—	—	11.8	—	—
Ninth chase win when successful last December and that was after a similar absence
