#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (5)	Gincident Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	137	ht	133312	80	92	81	11d	—	—	-1	33.3	0.50/1	2/1 33%
All good since joining James Owen and found only one superior in a big field at York
7 (3)	Shimmering Sands Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	128	—	246-60	71	91	78	11d	—	—	-10	11.9	0.75/1	3/1 25%
He's not won in two years and was behind some of these at York where he raced freely
2 (4)	Papagei Chestnut J:Jonny Peate T:James Ferguson	J:Jonny Peate T:James Ferguson	136	—	14-303	79	93	58	24d	—	—	-2	10.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Should go well, for all that he'd probably prefer going a bit further than this
3 (2)	Individualism Bay J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	135	—	216-87	78	90	55	39d	—	—	-1	10.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
All gone pear-shaped since winning over 1m3f at Carlisle last July when only 1lb lower
6 (6)	Spioradalta Bay J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	129	p	0-4416	72	89	81	11d	—	—	-1	8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Good run at York but doubts as to whether he can reverse placings with runner-up Gincident
4 (7)	Flickering Halo Brown J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	132	p	60-614	75	91	45	21d	—	—	0	8.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Both wins over 1m2f but stays the 1m4f over which he had no excuses at Leicester
8 (1)	Princess Niyla Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Alan Brown	J:Tom Eaves T:Alan Brown	125	p	5-3310	68	89	82	11d	—	—	+1	5.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Has plenty of ground to make up with some of these on York form
5 (8)	Squeezebox Chestnut J:Luke Morris T:Michael Appleby	J:Luke Morris T:Michael Appleby	130	—	015-45	73	88	23	21d	—	—	+3	6.8	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Can pull hard; if he did get a good pace to chase back in trip then he'd have a chance
