#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
3	Coolanna Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Tom Bellamy T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	154	t	22-11	119	133	93	30d	—	—	-1	25.3	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Has looked a thorough stayer in winning two novices for mares at about 2m6f (heavy)
1	Barra Rua Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	154	—	131344	122	135	118	26d	—	—	+9	28.8	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Strong form contender on her Irish exploits and 3m on good to soft could be ideal
4	Dream Shadow Bay J:Kielan Woods T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Kielan Woods T:Fergal O'Brien	154	—	2-2114	122	133	124	21d	—	—	+8	27.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Good 4th in a Grade 2 last time; up markedly in trip but there's stamina in her pedigree
2	Broomfield Aderra Bay J:Tristan Durrell T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell T:Dan Skelton	154	—	3-2313	121	133	117	64d	—	—	+14	22.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Progressive for this yard and likely that she'll improve again for going over 3m
8	Park Princess Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	154	t	9/1217	126	135	110	21d	—	—	+13	21.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Wouldn't be without hope judged on her near-miss at this level at Haydock in December
7	Livingonaprayer Bay J:Joe Anderson T:Jamie Snowden	J:Joe Anderson T:Jamie Snowden	154	—	5-11	121	131	95	86d	—	—	+13	19.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Unbeaten this season and pedigree offers plenty of optimism for this longer trip
5	Easy Love Chestnut J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	154	—	-13P16	118	135	118	21d	—	—	+22	27.8	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Dropped out in a Grade 2 last time and others in here have stronger form
6	Limerick Lass Brown J:Ben Godfrey T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Ben Godfrey T:Anthony Honeyball	154	t	41-21	113	123	88	48d	—	—	+12	17.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Has to take a step forward but that's quite feasible with her so lightly raced
