Unlucky second at Pontefract on handicap/seasonal debut; still open to further improvement
11 (1)	Ruby's Angel Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Hugo Palmer	J:Tom Marquand T:Hugo Palmer	126	—	33414-	80	90	85	242d	—	—	+5	20.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Won competitive nursery at the York Ebor festival in last turf attempt; likely player
1 (2)	Temple Of Athena Bay J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	135	—	163-17	89	94	84	31d	—	—	+1	13.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Three-time 5f winner, including at Chester; return to 6f presents a question mark
5 (6)	Watcha Snoop Bay J:Jason Watson T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jason Watson T:Hugo Palmer	131	—	2180-	85	97	94	200d	—	—	+8	17.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
May be capable of progress back down in class; interesting on handicap debut
8 (9)	Angel Love Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Rowan Scott T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	129	—	231-	83	95	-	162d	—	—	+17	25.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Won at Wolverhampton in final 2yo start; could take well to Chester and improve further
7 (3)	Star Material Bay J:Mikey Sheehy T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Adrian Paul Keatley	130	v	1020-9	84	93	87	18d	—	—	+4	10.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Chance of winning partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear
4 (7)	Go Vince Go Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	131	—	6135-8	85	91	90	18d	—	—	+5	10.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Has shown no further progress since the last of his three juvenile wins
13 (10)	Tricky Tel Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Hugo Palmer	J:Oisin Orr T:Hugo Palmer	125	—	11574-	79	95	82	223d	—	—	+7	14.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Return to Chester may prompt a resurgence; 2-2 here, both starts last May
3 (14)	Do Bronxs Grey J:David Egan T:David Loughnane	J:David Egan T:David Loughnane	135	—	1457-	89	95	84	236d	—	—	+10	13.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Possibly flattered by apparent peak effort; something to prove off his mark
12 (8)	Cherry Baker Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	126	—	2551-0	80	92	68	21d	—	—	+4	8.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Sole 6f attempt resulted in ready win at Southwell; unexposed over this distance
14 (12)	Evie Ross Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	125	b	916-	79	92	58	250d	—	—	+12	15.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Something to prove on the trip front but market support should be noted
9 (13)	Arduis Invicta Bay J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	129	—	1366-0	83	92	80	31d	—	—	+7	8.8	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Peak figure at Listed level may not be reliable; 13lb higher than last handicap attempt
NR (5)	Silent Strike Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Andrew Balding	J:NON-RUNNER T:Andrew Balding	135	—	2120	89	86	-	33d	—	—	—	19.8	—	—
Best to forgive latest AW effort; solid form otherwise and may still have more to offer
NR (11)	Saffron Dandy Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Richard Hannon	J:NON-RUNNER T:Richard Hannon	127	—	0-1166	81	94	-	33d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
