Comfortable winner over 1m2f on Newcastle's AW last week and a 5lb rise looks manageable

Down in weights and better signs on AW last week; one to consider back on turf
3 (13)	Yokohama Bay J:Donagh Murphy(3) T:John Butler	J:Donagh Murphy(3) T:John Butler	139	—	8347-0	69	81	73	57d	—	—	-4	8.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Placed off higher marks on turf last year and needs keeping an eye on in the betting
1 (7)	Expressionless Bay J:Harry Vigors(5) T:Dylan Cunha	J:Harry Vigors(5) T:Dylan Cunha	140	p	93414-	70	78	69	154d	—	—	+4	16.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%

1m2f win for Hughie Morrison last year; fairly unexposed on return for new yard; hood on

Front-runner; nicely treated on last year's turf form; interesting under Toby Moore
6 (9)	Avatar Jet Bay J:Harry Smith(7) T:Declan Carroll	J:Harry Smith(7) T:Declan Carroll	136	—	04443/	66	-	-	553d	—	—	+3	8.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Nicely treated on his Irish form in 2024 but not seen since; the betting should help guide

AW maiden winner but drawn a blank in eight handicaps since; first run for new yard
15 (14)	Blackwater Lilly Bay J:Shay Farmer(3) T:Brian Ellison	J:Shay Farmer(3) T:Brian Ellison	121	p	540-97	51	81	-	—	—	—	-3	1.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Hurdle winner but disappointing on AW this winter; well-held fourth back hurdling latest

1-25, the win coming over 1m on AW last autumn; probably best to look elsewhere
5 (15)	Electric Avenue Bay J:Elle-May Croot T:Ivan Furtado	J:Elle-May Croot T:Ivan Furtado	137	tp	5-4689	67	73	-	14d	—	—	+2	5.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
AW wins over 7f/1m in November but lost way on AW recently; something to prove
8 (11)	Dissident Bay J:Jude Fernandes(7) T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Jude Fernandes(7) T:Gary & Josh Moore	135	p	3890-7	65	78	63	8d	—	—	+2	4.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
