Smart form in defeat over hurdles; should win this en route to something a lot better
5	The Dog Thief b J:Jack Andrews T:T Ellis	J:Jack Andrews T:T Ellis	158	—	1	-	-	-	—	—	—	+2	13.3	8/1 11%
Won an ordinary-looking 3m point at Alnwick by 5l; faces no easy starter under rules
4	Solid Performer b J:William Maggs(5) T:Donald McCain	J:William Maggs(5) T:Donald McCain	158	—	1-33	109	127	104	29d	—	—	+15	24.3	11/1 8%
Two thirds over hurdles; more needed to beat Just Golden but has a future
1	Forever Louie b J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Ross Chapman T:Rebecca Menzies	158	—	62	-	-	-	40d	—	—	0	6.9	18/1 5%
Bred to stay well so his rallying second in a Musselburgh bumper was encouraging
3	Nosy Neighbour b J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	158	—	54-3	-	107	65	67d	—	—	0	4.1	40/1 2%
Beaten 19l into third on hurdling debut (2m) but he's bred to appreciate this longer trip
6	Callmesusie b J:Jack Quinlan T:Louise Allan	J:Jack Quinlan T:Louise Allan	151	—	324-R7	-	-	-	13d	—	—	-1	0.4	250/1 0%
Only 1-14 in points and has made a very inauspicious start under rules; zero appeal
