Returning from another long absence, but could be worth a market check; stable debut.

A win and a last-flight exit (every chance) in 2m good-ground handicaps lately; player.

6l behind Granny B latest after trying to take her on; did okay over C&D once last winter.

Fit from the Flat; went as close as ever to a hurdles win over this C&D in January.
1	Made All Bay J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	166	t	70P-	95	89	63	—	—	—	+3	14.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Stiff-looking opening mark, but may step up on previous efforts granted a sound surface.
8	Granny B Bay J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Michael Mullineaux	J:Lewis Stones(3) T:Michael Mullineaux	146	h	95863-	75	99	90	32d	—	—	+4	11.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last month's Hereford 25l third is a better effort than it perhaps reads; place claims.
3	Klapton Boy Bay J:Tom Midgley(3) T:Nick Kent	J:Tom Midgley(3) T:Nick Kent	161	t	6/P56-	90	92	74	41d	—	—	+6	11.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Weak finisher on last four runs, including two since wind surgery; tongue-tie now added.

0-10 over hurdles; pulled up behind Bunker Bay over C&D latest and couldn't consider.

Never quite getting there in time when second over C&D in April; anonymous run since.
NR	Beorma Chestnut J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	152	—	89/P8-	81	94	65	41d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
