1	Shan't Wait Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Charlie Longsdon	168	—	75-923	98	100	91	53d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-8	20.9	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Raced wide - in rear - reminder after 4th - struggling 3 out - some headway from 2 out - went modest third towards finish(op 85/40)
2	Saint Polo Bay J:Ian Power T:Jennie Candlish	J:Ian Power T:Jennie Candlish	166	—	567859	96	89	56	49d	—	—	-7	19.5	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Did not get competitive in first five hurdle races but has now been given a handicap mark
5	Wind Your Neck In Chestnut J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	162	t	444722	92	99	89	14d	—	—	+9	23	1.50/1	6/1 14%
0-13 over hurdles but came second twice over 2m3f last month; probably in the mix again
7	Dartmhor Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Chris Grant	J:Brian Hughes T:Chris Grant	145	—	88P-34	75	96	79	42d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-5	10.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
0-6 over hurdles but ran okay here on seasonal debut and subsequent defeat is excusable
6	Star Vantage Bay J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Rebecca Menzies	157	t	2F6465	87	100	92	73d	0W/0P 1 run	—	0	12.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Often travels well but is 0-27 over hurdles and patience in him is wearing thin
4	Swingforthefence Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jennie Candlish	165	p	3-797	95	97	83	20d	—	—	+8	15.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%
In rear - pushed along before 7th - struggling after 3 out - no chance when hung right after 2 out - not fluent last(op 11/1)
3	Klapton Boy Bay J:Tom Midgley(3) T:Nick Kent	J:Tom Midgley(3) T:Nick Kent	166	—	2236-P	96	96	69	117d	—	—	+9	12.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Absent since poor chase debut in November but showed promise over hurdles last season
