Running well since switched to handicaps this season and likely to be in the mix again.
1	Ike Sport Bay J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Neil Mulholland	J:Bradley Harris(3) T:Neil Mulholland	168	h	-20526	127	128	111	16d	—	—	+10	29.5	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Back to form at Wincanton, then a creditable 6th in the Lanzorote at Kempton; player.
3	Lucky Manifest Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	J:Stan Sheppard T:Tom Lacey	164	—	P-1128	123	129	122	45d	—	—	+4	24.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Dual hurdle winner who's holding his form well and another bold bid can be expected.
6	Patriotik Grey J:Isabel Williams T:Evan Williams	J:Isabel Williams T:Evan Williams	156	p	-00606	115	129	115	9d	—	—	+7	19.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Has endured a disappointing season so far, but back on a good mark and not ruled out.
7	He's A Latchico Bay J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	155	—	1-7157	114	129	109	23d	—	—	+18	25.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
In good form at the end of last year but has to be forgiven a lesser effort last time.
4	The Famous Five Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	162	—	1522-5	121	127	107	37d	—	—	+14	19.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Laboured return over fences last month but reverts to hurdles on a fair mark
5	Pretending Grey J:Tom Cannon T:Lucy Wadham	J:Tom Cannon T:Lucy Wadham	157	p	P3-57P	116	126	117	8d	—	—	+13	17.8	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Back on her last winning mark but has yet to fire this season and pulled up last week.
