Expensive to follow but threatening to win and now gets headgear; one for the shortlist
9 (10)	Towerlands Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Tony Carroll	J:Rossa Ryan T:Tony Carroll	132	—	829251	69	82	64	39d	—	—	+8	22.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Off the mark with a cosy win at Southwell in October; still low mileage; 6lb rise to defy
1 (9)	Port Road Grey J:Paddy Bradley T:Simon Dow	J:Paddy Bradley T:Simon Dow	138	—	335193	74	84	76	13d	—	—	+5	18.2	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Feasible mark and ran well over C&D two weeks ago; each-way shout again
6 (3)	Virtue Patience Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Amanda Perrett	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Amanda Perrett	133	—	120306	70	87	51	102d	—	—	-1	10.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Course winner; good mark on peak form and a wind op since last seen could give him a lift
2 (8)	Dark Rosa Roan J:Rob Hornby T:Georgina Nicholls	J:Rob Hornby T:Georgina Nicholls	137	—	356451	74	79	53	14d	—	—	+10	18.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Easy win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; not been missed with an 8lb rise though
5 (1)	H Key Lails Grey J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Michael Attwater	J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Michael Attwater	133	p	142871	69	82	65	13d	—	—	+12	18	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Overcame stall 12 to win over C&D last month; 3lb rise to deal with & others are preferred
7 (5)	Riyadh Gem Bay J:Sean Levey T:Faye Bramley	J:Sean Levey T:Faye Bramley	132	p	702550	69	84	73	19d	—	—	+2	7.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
On a handy mark and can leave his low-key stable debut behind with headgear returning
4 (2)	Ernie's Valentine Grey J:Darragh Keenan T:Ross Burdon	J:Darragh Keenan T:Ross Burdon	135	—	361321	71	82	65	14d	—	—	+19	24.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
In fine form of late, winning two of his last four; should remain competitive

Ready C&D win last time but the form looks modest and she's up 5lb in a higher grade
10 (4)	Simply Blue Brown J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	129	—	331448	66	81	66	9d	—	—	+5	8.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Not at best in three runs for J Owen and finished with irregular heartbeat nine days ago
