Winning run came to an end last time here but still ran well despite not settling
10 (6)	Powerful Response Bay J:Sean Kirrane T:Geoffrey Harker	J:Sean Kirrane T:Geoffrey Harker	130	p	955222	62	78	67	10d	—	—	+3	18.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has gone close in his last two races and mark has only crept up; thereabouts
13 (9)	Alpine Sierra Brown J:Billy Loughnane T:Jim Goldie	J:Billy Loughnane T:Jim Goldie	123	—	335535	55	79	65	13d	—	—	-6	8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Running well here off a favourable mark and returning to 1m should suit; in the mix
1 (13)	Starliner Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Linda Perratt	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Linda Perratt	138	—	577367	70	79	31	9d	—	—	-1	9.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Form can be hot and cold; ran in a higher grade here last week but beat only one home
6 (3)	Renewable Dream b/br J:Gianluca Sanna(5) T:Seb Spencer	J:Gianluca Sanna(5) T:Seb Spencer	134	—	-59339	67	82	-	95d	—	—	+3	9.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
A maiden but he showed promise on Tapeta as a 2yo and still has low mileage
11 (7)	Merapi Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	130	—	625464	63	80	67	16d	—	—	0	6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Got behind before staying on well for fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; chance
9 (12)	The Cookstown Cafu Bay J:Oisin McSweeney T:Fionn McSharry	J:Oisin McSweeney T:Fionn McSharry	130	—	050596	62	75	56	10d	—	—	-1	4.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
On a dangerous mark but hasn't won for a good while now and quiet of late
12 (1)	Rainwater Bay J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Richard Fahey	J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Richard Fahey	129	—	136220	61	80	63	16d	—	—	+6	10.7	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Two good runs back from a break and not sure what happened next time at Wolverhampton
3 (2)	Jesmond Dawn Bay J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	135	—	013278	67	80	69	16d	—	—	+7	10.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Had been in great form here but last two efforts were backward steps, especially latest
5 (4)	Samra Star Bay J:Kaiya Fraser T:Linda Perratt	J:Kaiya Fraser T:Linda Perratt	134	—	544550	66	78	65	9d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+2	4.9	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Perhaps better at 7f than 1m and her latest run (here) was most disappointing
2 (11)	Maui Breeze Bay J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	135	—	672555	68	78	64	10d	—	—	+5	6.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Best form has been at 6f/7f and 1m2f was probably too far on recent stable debut
