The step up in trip and handicap debut could reveal him in a new light
2	Hard Dealt Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	169	—	162272	111	109	100	24d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+10	30.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Twice a flop in her five handicaps but second in the other three, including at 3m latest
3	Glance Of Glory Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Martin Keighley	J:Sean Bowen T:Martin Keighley	167	p	3-114S	109	110	85	40d	—	—	+7	20.9	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Creditable fourth at 3m; disputed favouritism last month but clipped heels and slipped up
6	Kilworth Bay J:Ben Jones T:Emma Lavelle	J:Ben Jones T:Emma Lavelle	160	—	5F371P	102	112	77	34d	—	—	+12	21.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Won handicap debut at Taunton (good to soft) over extended 3m; ran poorly five weeks ago
1	Kiwi Rush Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Harry Derham	J:Brendan Powell T:Harry Derham	169	t	2-4530	111	109	95	32d	—	—	+13	21	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Needs to rebound from poor handicap debut and also to find improvement over this new trip
9	A Good Yomp Bay J:Dillon Butler(10) T:Andrew J Martin	J:Dillon Butler(10) T:Andrew J Martin	152	h	FP1533	94	113	103	21d	—	—	+13	20.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Experienced and running well but latest start was 2m, which casts doubt over this new trip
5	Low Expectations Bay J:James Davies T:Nick Gifford	J:James Davies T:Nick Gifford	162	—	-11148	104	114	104	66d	—	—	+19	25.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Backward steps on last two outings; free-going tendency is a concern for this longer trip
4	Alan Bresil Bay J:Harry Reed T:Nick Scholfield	J:Harry Reed T:Nick Scholfield	165	p	-34457	107	107	79	24d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+12	15.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Beaten 19l and 14l in his two handicaps (2m7f/3m); needs overall improvement
8	Air Apparent b/br J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Seamus Mullins	J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Seamus Mullins	158	—	7453	100	114	90	22d	—	—	—	15.5	—	—
Plenty of the stayer about him but he's sometimes raced freely; new trip on handicap debut
