3yo who has won over C&D on his last two starts and is clearly progressive
8 (4)	Goldmoyne Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	128	p	020937	48	68	55	13d	—	—	-10	8.3	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Disappointing last time but promising stable debut here previously; worth a second look
3 (3)	Instant Bond Bay J:Jason Hart T:Michael Wigham	J:Jason Hart T:Michael Wigham	134	—	873403	54	67	57	7d	—	—	-8	10.1	1.13/1	9/2 18%
0-10 but close third over C&D last week and can be bang there once more

He's not easy to win with but he's consistent & there's a good chance he'll be in the mix
13 (11)	Rory Chestnut J:Lauren Young(5) T:Jim Goldie	J:Lauren Young(5) T:Jim Goldie	126	v	644648	46	61	51	11d	—	—	-5	2	2.75/1	11/1 8%

1 (14)	Roaring Ralph Bay J:Sean Kirrane T:Michael Dods	J:Sean Kirrane T:Michael Dods	135	v	706977	55	63	49	11d	—	—	-3	3	3.00/1	12/1 8%

Two reasonable performances of late following a long absence but needs something extra
6 (9)	The Gay Blade Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	132	h	556399	52	65	40	68d	—	—	-2	3.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Below par in October but often runs well after a break & this C&D winner has a handy mark
11 (6)	Fircombe Hall Chestnut J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Philip Kirby	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Philip Kirby	126	p	854508	46	62	46	11d	—	—	-3	1.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Second at Hamilton last time; 5lb lower mark on AW but something to prove on the surface
9 (10)	Sharp Call Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	126	b	884660	46	62	59	142d	—	—	-2	0.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Her mark has tumbled but 0-10 and hard to fancy on what she was showing in the summer
7 (5)	Wee Nan Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Alan Brown	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Alan Brown	130	—	6460	50	64	29	82d	—	—	-1	0.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
