Ran right up to mark in a better, longer race here latest (soft); turn is surely nearing.
2	Bridge Bay J:Rob Hargreaves(6) T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Rob Hargreaves(6) T:Gary & Josh Moore	164	—	372/27	101	105	45	25d	—	—	-1	18.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Career-best RPR on December's return from a long absence; may pay to forgive last time.
1	A Mere Bagatelle Bay J:Lewis Saunders T:James Owen	J:Lewis Saunders T:James Owen	168	tv	21P-40	105	108	83	14d	—	—	+4	17.6	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Not lasting out over 2m4f latterly; slow ground no issue but mark could be lower ideally.
6	Sawpit Sienna Bay J:Murray Dodd T:Samuel Drinkwater	J:Murray Dodd T:Samuel Drinkwater	142	tb	23-556	79	102	90	19d	—	—	+1	9.8	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Return to 2m makes sense; over five years since her last win outside mares-only company.
5	Tommy Dillion Bay J:Oscar Palmer T:Richard Rowe	J:Oscar Palmer T:Richard Rowe	142	—	P5P9-2	79	101	78	266d	—	—	+8	13.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
C&D winner on heavy in late 2022; return to form switched to front-running tactics latest.

Third on two of last three starts, without quite lasting home; return to 2m worth a try.
