Knocking on the door in handicaps and bred to improve again for this longer trip
3	Holly Bird Bay J:TBC T:Sandy Thomson	J: T:Sandy Thomson	160	—	P5-532	90	98	79	23d	—	—	—	10	—	—
0-9 but behind two progressive geldings when third of seven at Ayr recently
4	Dillarchie Bay J:TBC T:Joanne Foster	J: T:Joanne Foster	155	—	6P-672	85	99	92	23d	—	—	—	8.8	—	—
Didn't run badly at Wetherby three weeks ago but needs to build on that effort today

Had been off for 99 days but even so her Market Rasen run was disappointing
7	Topkapi Star Bay J:Peter Kavanagh T:Ewan Whillans	J:Peter Kavanagh T:Ewan Whillans	153	—	-53P4P	83	108	83	27d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
Easy winner at Ayr (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January; lacklustre of late.

10	Dance In The Park Bay J:TBC T:Mickey Bowen	J: T:Mickey Bowen	148	—	6PP-P4	78	95	71	23d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Latest fourth in a Catterick handicap was remote and she's looking regressive
11	Shesupincourt Bay J:TBC T:Ryan Potter	J: T:Ryan Potter	145	—	-85548	75	108	89	8d	—	—	—	6.3	—	—
Fairly treated on winning form over hurdles/fences but not in great form recently
12	Zeezee Bay J:TBC T:Adam Nicol	J: T:Adam Nicol		—	552258	74	76	67	7d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Two seconds on good ground before an excusable defeat on heavy a month ago
