An 11lb rise for her Bangor win asks major questions in this loftier grade
7	Crazierthandaisy Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	156	—	01P402	115	128	126	26d	—	—	+10	28	0.88/1	7/2 22%
5lb above only mark she's defied in a handicap and a 7lb claimer was employed last time
4	Greyval Grey J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	159	p	-52065	118	131	114	78d	—	—	+11	21.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Last year's winner; plenty in her favour for a bold defence with cheekpieces added
10	Audacious Annie Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	152	p	-66254	111	129	127	95d	—	—	+11	20.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Good record here but appears to have little margin for error off this mark
8	Hard Dealt Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Henry Daly	155	—	622722	114	127	119	25d	—	—	+20	29.7	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Has only won a Worcester novice and failed in six handicaps off lower marks
3	Rula Bula Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	162	—	25-157	121	129	113	39d	—	—	+12	20	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again
2	Rockola Vogue Bay J:David Bass T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	J:David Bass T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	167	p	-11365	126	129	124	33d	—	—	+21	27.3	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Progress has stalled since early-season wins and looks on a hard mark
11	Keep On Cobbling Grey J:Harry Bannister T:Henry Daly	J:Harry Bannister T:Henry Daly	142	—	21-163	101	122	102	47d	—	—	+8	14.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Soft going perhaps not ideal the last time and this 6yo is bred to improve with her racing
5	Pretending Grey J:Tom Cannon T:Lucy Wadham	J:Tom Cannon T:Lucy Wadham	158	p	-57P41	117	131	116	65d	—	—	+21	27.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Third last year; made a handy return to form when winning at Market Rasen
12	Country Mouse Chestnut J:Liam Harrison T:Alastair Ralph	J:Liam Harrison T:Alastair Ralph	142	p	0-0346	101	127	113	39d	—	—	+10	13.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
3rd in a novice in December; lesser runs have followed, including handicap debut when 25-1
NR	Siog Geal Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Fergal O'Brien	J:NON-RUNNER T:Fergal O'Brien	168	—	1-3252	127	128	120	39d	—	—	—	26.3	—	—
Has had another good campaign off her tough mark and went down narrowly last time
NR	Pismo Beach b/br J:NON-RUNNER T:Stuart Edmunds	J:NON-RUNNER T:Stuart Edmunds	155	t	1543P2	114	129	124	33d	—	—	—	21.5	—	—
Possibly a career best when second to a talented mare at Newbury last time
