Drops in grade with a good apprentice booked; one to be interested in

0-16 but has run well in both starts this year including C&D 9 days ago; each-way shout
3 (4)	Media Guest b/br J:Liam Keniry T:Mark Gillard	J:Liam Keniry T:Mark Gillard	135	p	-50942	55	71	69	15d	—	—	-5	10.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Just 1-34 but comes here in form; likely he'll need a pace collapse to win over this trip
2 (1)	Savannah Smiles Bay J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Grace Harris	J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Grace Harris	136	p	411486	56	68	18	10d	—	—	+2	8.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Two AW wins this year; well held in a Class 5 latest; opposable on slow ground
5 (6)	More Than Likely Bay J:Nicola Currie T:Nikki Evans	J:Nicola Currie T:Nikki Evans	133	p	1989-6	53	68	48	9d	—	—	-4	2.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Two C&D wins last summer; fair return to action nine days ago but faster ground preferable
7 (8)	Cloudy Breeze Bay J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Gary & Josh Moore	128	—	02846-	48	69	51	225d	—	—	-3	3.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
One Windsor run last summer that gives her strong claims; absent 225 days; ground a query

First past post in this race last year; drawn widest and wouldn't want too much rain
4 (2)	Atty's Edge Bay J:William Cox T:Christopher Mason	J:William Cox T:Christopher Mason	134	—	24535-	54	68	44	227d	—	—	+1	5.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Four wins in 2021 but drawn a blank since; dangerous mark but risky back from 227 days off
10 (7)	Essme Bay J:William Carson T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	J:William Carson T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	126	t	435-34	46	67	56	131d	—	—	-3	1.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Running creditably on AW this winter; trip/ground queries back from break; now tongue tied

15-race maiden who has something to prove on turf; others look safer
11 (3)	Independent Beauty Bay J:Alex Jary(5) T:Lisa Williamson	J:Alex Jary(5) T:Lisa Williamson	126	—	-87946	46	65	45	73d	—	—	-1	0.4	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Exposed 34-race maiden; had wind op since last seen but easy enough to swerve
