Unexposed 3yo; escapes penalty for recent Kempton win; leading contender off same mark
5 (8)	So Alex Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	J:Billy Loughnane T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	135	—	535211	74	83	64	14d	—	—	+11	32.3	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Progressive; C&D wins in November and December; 6lb rise may not prevent a hat-trick

Tough 5yo; second at Lingfield on Wednesday; in the mix but faces some unexposed rivals

Made winning handicap debut over C&D last month; up only 1lb and open to further progress
4 (10)	Lightning Touch Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	136	—	242352	71	84	70	25d	—	—	+9	14.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Went agonisingly close to shedding maiden tag over C&D last month; should be involved
1 (7)	Appier Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Richard J Bandey	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Richard J Bandey	139	h	554163	74	82	65	12d	—	—	+12	14.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Respectable third here 12 days ago but more needed to regain the winning thread
6 (5)	Enthused Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	132	v	107805	67	79	63	9d	—	—	+2	5.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Recent Flat runs have been well below par; opposable in warm race for the grade
10 (6)	Montpellier Green Bay J:Edward Greatrex T:Ian Williams	J:Edward Greatrex T:Ian Williams	119	—	868890	58	81	60	17d	—	—	-1	3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Won nursery last autumn but has slumped since, well held last time; difficult to recommend
8 (9)	Three Yorkshiremen Bay J:Nicola Currie T:Barry Brennan	J:Nicola Currie T:Barry Brennan	130	—	470516	65	81	69	14d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+9	11.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Only sixth to So Alex last time and no obvious reason why he'll turn the tables
9 (3)	Tiger Beetle Bay J:Zoe Lewis(7) T:Thomas Faulkner	J:Zoe Lewis(7) T:Thomas Faulkner	127	t	7-0004	62	78	52	26d	—	—	+2	3.5	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Three AW wins here but he's not in much form; hard to fancy despite falling mark
