Close fourth of 12 at Musselburgh last Saturday and should be in the thick of things again
5 (3)	Dandy Dinmont Bay J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	131	—	864-33	66	83	71	12d	—	—	-8	9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Has hit the ground running this year with two solid thirds; obvious candidate
2 (8)	Honour Your Dreams Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Michael Appleby	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Michael Appleby	133	ht	273-32	68	82	67	8d	—	—	-4	7.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Consistent sort; ran well after wind surgery when second at Chelmsford; leading contender
3 (9)	Ancient Times Bay J:Kaiya Fraser(3) T:Harry Eustace	J:Kaiya Fraser(3) T:Harry Eustace	133	t	44844-	68	83	82	154d	—	—	-2	7.2	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Often makes the frame but on a long losing run; others appeal more for win purposes
11 (10)	Opal Storm Bay J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Brian Rothwell	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Brian Rothwell	120	t	463-05	55	80	60	12d	—	—	-6	4.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Met trouble in running when fifth at Pontefract last time; each-way possibilities at least
8 (4)	Glendown Bay J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	128	tp	919-92	63	86	79	22d	—	—	-3	5.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Not the easiest to predict but close second last time; chance if on a going day
7 (11)	Toptime Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Roy Bowring	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Roy Bowring	128	—	415-66	63	80	68	27d	—	—	-2	5.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Led until inside final 1f when sixth over C&D last time; likely to give another bold show
10 (2)	Gis A Sub Bay J:Mark Winn T:Paul Midgley	J:Mark Winn T:Paul Midgley	124	p	7387-3	59	82	78	33d	—	—	+1	7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Went close on return at Wolverhampton (6f), shaping as if this trip would not be a problem
4 (5)	Betweenthesticks Bay J:Jonny Peate T:Ruth Carr	J:Jonny Peate T:Ruth Carr	131	p	19-721	66	84	74	14d	—	—	-2	6.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Made all at Nottingham two weeks ago; this is a stronger race and he's 2lb higher
6 (6)	Taygar Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Michael Dods	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Michael Dods	131	—	54751-	66	84	76	172d	—	—	+9	15.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Led late on at Redcar last autumn; these conditions will put the emphasis more on speed
9 (1)	Herakles Bay J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Paul Midgley	J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Paul Midgley	127	h	527-67	62	80	82	18d	—	—	0	4.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Below par since last summer's win but well handicapped and hood could have positive effect
