7lb rise will make things tougher but he's better drawn today and goes on the shortlist

Showed plenty of dash since returned to sprinting in the visor and is better drawn today
4 (3)	Lima Sierra Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	129	—	26-644	52	67	62	9d	—	—	-7	3.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Found traffic behind Barmyblade here last time; warrants respect on 8lb better terms
6 (10)	Lady Diesel Bay J:David Nolan T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	J:David Nolan T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	128	—	68-785	51	65	55	27d	—	—	-6	2.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ordinary debut for new connections late last month, when behind Sanbona and Ziva's Star

Better drawn than Sanbona when behind him at Redcar and is only slightly better off today
3 (4)	Hype Merchant Chestnut J:Joanna Mason T:Roger Fell	J:Joanna Mason T:Roger Fell	129	p	7-2523	52	63	-	20d	—	—	-5	2.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
The return to sprinting may suit for his new yard having been picked up for 3,500gns
9 (6)	Twilight Poppy Bay J:William Pyle(3) T:Kevin Frost	J:William Pyle(3) T:Kevin Frost	123	—	90459-	46	63	46	232d	—	—	-4	1.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Will need to have improved during her eight months on the sidelines
2 (2)	Causin A Commotion Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	131	tp	-33140	54	63	44	61d	—	—	+4	8.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Exposed now and will need to better his AW work if he's to take this from a wide stall
10 (8)	Queen's Palace Bay J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Bryan Smart	123	—	707	46	61	39	22d	—	—	-3	1.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
This is more realistic now handicapping but best to see support before considering her
7 (1)	Kilo Sunshine Chestnut J:Jason Hart T:Danny Brooke	J:Jason Hart T:Danny Brooke	124	p	87-078	47	66	53	9d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Has not shown much in five starts; first headgear will need to make quite a difference
