Won on handicap debut over C&D last month; up 5lb; another bold bid can be expected.
5	Miss Kassiopi Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	J:Harry Bannister T:Richard J Bandey	160	—	686622	91	98	90	42d	—	—	+3	25.4	0.69/1	11/4 27%
14-race maiden, but in form and likely to go well again off a workable mark.
1	Innisfree Pearl Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	168	—	442	99	96	43	26d	—	—	+10	19.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Up 2lb but a leading player after a promising start to handicaps over hurdles last month.
6	Jessie Jump Jet Brown J:Robert Dunne T:Samuel Drinkwater	J:Robert Dunne T:Samuel Drinkwater	157	tp	85P-38	88	101	67	26d	—	—	+5	11.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Failed to build on an encouraging stable debut last time; cheekpieces now reached for.
8	Adaay Dancing Bay J:David Bass T:Max Comley	J:David Bass T:Max Comley	155	t	0-3U43	86	100	63	24d	—	—	+5	10.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Has bits of form that bring her into the reckoning but she has stamina to prove.
7	Ballerina Boxer Bay J:Ben Poste T:Nikki Evans	J:Ben Poste T:Nikki Evans	155	t	5060P9	86	99	80	9d	—	—	+8	9.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Has offered little encouragement in two starts for new stable and easy to look elsewhere.
NR	Shanagolden Girl Bay J:James Best T:Fergal O'Brien	J:James Best T:Fergal O'Brien	162	—	2-0957	93	100	76	43d	—	—	—	14.3	—	—
Could have more to offer now switching to handicaps, with market support worth noting.
NR	Jackeline Chestnut J:Daniel Sansom(3) T:Seamus Mullins	J:Daniel Sansom(3) T:Seamus Mullins	160	b	253PP7	91	100	63	2d	—	—	—	10.3	—	—
Didn't take to fences this winter and recent hurdles return was disappointing.
