Two pleasing runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims
3	Zoeman Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Tom George	J:Jonathan Burke T:Tom George	160	—	5/3325	92	106	101	77d	—	—	-6	17.8	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Three good runs over fences before flopping in first-time cheekpieces that are now removed
2	Forcetoreckonwith Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Charlie Todd T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	161	t	024321	93	104	96	40d	—	—	+16	31.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Beat a subsequent Haydock winner last time and the 7lb rise looks manageable
6	Blackijo Dagrostis Brown J:Stan Sheppard T:Matt Sheppard	J:Stan Sheppard T:Matt Sheppard	150	tp	4P5434	82	108	95	29d	—	—	+1	13.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Good penultimate effort but Hereford was disappointing when behind Ballywood
5	Golden Millie Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Dan Horsford	J:Brendan Powell T:Dan Horsford	157	h	67/776	89	102	63	11d	—	—	+4	12.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Made an okay chase debut; needs more and Lunar Ocean was ahead of her last time
9	Lone Soldier Bay J:Lee Edwards T:Charles & Adam Pogson	J:Lee Edwards T:Charles & Adam Pogson	142	—	P253U4	74	105	79	18d	—	—	+2	9.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Respected on the odd bit of form but he's now 0-9 over fences and 0-19 overall
1	Ironica De Thaix Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	168	p	0/3/PP	100	-	-	45d	—	—	+12	15.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pulled up on stable/handicap debut; downgraded here with cheekpieces added
NR	Kally Des Bruyeres Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:David Dennis	J:Tom Bellamy T:David Dennis	157	t	F45141	89	103	84	18d	—	—	—	24.8	—	—
Made all last time; up in grade off 5lb higher and there could be competition for the lead
NR	Ballywood Bay J:Tabitha Worsley T:Georgie Howell	J:Tabitha Worsley T:Georgie Howell	149	tb	367323	81	106	101	29d	—	0W/1P 1 run	—	15.8	—	—
Hasn't won a race for years and may need an easy lead for him to put that right
