Multiple point winner who returned to rules with three good runs at end of last year
6	Castelfort Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	165	—	3P-575	119	127	104	29d	—	—	+5	22.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Ran quite well on faster-than-ideal ground when back over hurdles last month; interesting
4	French Emperor Bay J:James Bowen T:Nicky Martin	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Martin	165	—	37-117	119	122	93	46d	—	—	+6	21.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Won his first two handicaps (both 2m); not at best last time but may still have potential
7	High Tea Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Jonathan Burke T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	164	—	4-641F	118	122	102	41d	—	—	+6	21.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%

Fell last month but was 3-3 in handicaps beforehand and remains of strong interest

Placed twice this season but didn't fire last time and the headgear is left off again here
1	West To The Bridge Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	168	p	4P5052	122	125	100	41d	—	—	+18	24.3	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Clear second at Ludlow last month; this slower ground ought to suit even better
12	Slim Marvel Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	J:Sean Bowen T:Rebecca Curtis	149	—	643F57	103	122	77	84d	—	—	+8	15.3	3.50/1	14/1 7%
