Nudged up 1lb but the step up in trip with cheekpieces added could eke out improvement.
2	Striking A Pose Bay J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Freddie Gingell T:Joe Tizzard	167	—	3PP695	103	109	94	10d	—	—	+2	17.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Offered a little more on latest start and well treated on past form, but needs to step up.
5	Lightonthewing Bay J:Ciaran O'Shea(7) T:Sue Gardner	J:Ciaran O'Shea(7) T:Sue Gardner	156	—	P1U215	92	108	78	19d	—	—	+13	24.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Effective in this sphere but yet to win off a mark this high.

Largely consistent and not yet fully exposed at staying distances; leading contender.
3	My Own Lovely Lee Chestnut J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Callum Pritchard(3) T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	165	p	3-4575	101	103	75	39d	—	—	+7	17.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Made little impact switched to a handicap latest and more is needed if he's to figure.

Hard to recommend on recent hurdle form.
