Couple of excuses of late but was rather disappointing at Haydock yesterday

Flopped latest (1m) but previous 7f wins bring him right into the picture; headgear back

Yet to run a bad race over C&D; good second here three weeks ago; each-way claims again

Only midfield in 2 runs back from a year off last month; fair mark if now at concert pitch

Beaten over 12l when 3rd at Sandown latest; drying ground will suit others more

Three wins last year, including C&D, but she's gone backwards from her promising return

7f specialist; placed off this mark at Newmarket five weeks ago; one to consider
3 (8)	Legal Reform Bay J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	J:Jason Hart T:Michael Herrington	136	—	123905	86	91	74	14d	—	—	+7	12.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Chance on his AW form early in the year; recent form uninspiring but not dismissed

Wide-margin 6f novice win on heavy last October; nothing since to make him of interest

Absent since poor run at the Dante meeting (irregular heartbeat afterwards); others safer

Group 2 2nd last July; struggled since; down in weights but best watched on stable debut

7f win last autumn; more promise for this yard on last two starts (6f) but still opposable
