Back on the up since December, winning four times; shouldn't be far away if ground is okay

On a fair mark and looks to be running herself into form; each-way shout
1 (7)	Pension Pot Bay J:William Pyle T:David & Nicola Barron	J:William Pyle T:David & Nicola Barron	135	—	424-5	70	82	40	14d	—	—	-6	9.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Unexposed 4yo; encouraging run at Nottingham on handicap debut; can take a step forward

Gained 4th Beverley success nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but can't discount

0-8 but has C&D form and can go well fresh; one to consider off a dangerous mark
9 (5)	Off Spin Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	124	t	50820-	59	80	61	157d	—	—	+3	6.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
0-11 and inconsistent; likely best watched back from a break; stable run three here
