Lightly raced; just 1lb higher than for Newcastle win in March; not ruled out
13 (4)	Equity Law Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	130	p	88-633	75	91	79	14d	—	—	-3	9.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Back to last winning mark and arrives after close third over C&D; in the mix once more
4 (12)	Right And Exact Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:Declan Carroll	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Declan Carroll	133	—	122-8	78	85	72	34d	—	—	0	9.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Unexposed after four runs; shaped well on handicap debut at Musselburgh; high on the list
6 (5)	Al Hussar Brown J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	132	b	03-343	77	92	73	17d	—	—	0	9.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Looks to be coming to the boil, close third at Musselburgh last time; might be the answer
11 (16)	Call To Action Chestnut J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	131	b	0041-2	76	93	65	17d	—	—	+5	14.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Lightly raced 5yo; fine second at Pontefract on return; still of interest despite 2lb rise
9 (17)	Curious Rover Bay J:Jason Hart T:Katie Scott	J:Jason Hart T:Katie Scott	131	—	098-74	76	89	66	17d	—	—	0	8.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Second here in 2025; 6lb below his last winning mark; has plenty in his favour
3 (18)	Castan Chestnut J:Paul Mulrennan T:Bryan Smart	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Bryan Smart	134	p	-22814	79	88	73	21d	—	—	+12	18.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won a division of this race 12 months ago and arrives in form in bid for a repeat
8 (3)	Emerald Harmony Bay J:Barry McHugh T:Paul Midgley	J:Barry McHugh T:Paul Midgley	132	—	23-273	77	91	77	12d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+1	9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has made solid start for new yard; one of the likelier candidates
14 (11)	Brazilian Belle Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	128	—	7-3116	73	90	84	39d	—	—	+2	7.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Well held behind Castan at Southwell last time and could be vulnerable off current mark
1 (13)	Muker Chestnut J:Alex Jary(3) T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Alex Jary(3) T:Nigel Tinkler	137	—	0539-8	82	91	73	20d	—	—	+2	10.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Probably needed reappearance at 40-1 and may require another run to put him spot-on
12 (14)	Changeofmind Chestnut J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	130	—	79395-	75	92	85	208d	—	—	+4	9.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
0-16 since winning first two races; down in weights but carries risks after a layoff
7 (15)	Tiriac Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	132	p	131-97	77	90	65	31d	—	—	+4	7.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Slowly away and never a threat this year; one of three runners for Paul Midgley
15 (2)	Tees Aggregates Bay J:Jack Nicholls(5) T:Adrian Nicholls	J:Jack Nicholls(5) T:Adrian Nicholls	126	—	17-594	71	90	60	12d	—	—	+3	6.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Reared at start and slowly away when fourth at Bath last Thursday; others look safer
2 (10)	Counsel Chestnut J:Harry Davies T:Michael Appleby	J:Harry Davies T:Michael Appleby	136	t	14-716	81	90	68	29d	—	—	+6	8.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Ran poorly at Wolverhampton four weeks ago and is 0-13 on turf
17 (6)	Glory Fighter Bay J:Mark Winn T:Paul Midgley	J:Mark Winn T:Paul Midgley	126	—	-98315	71	91	62	8d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+11	14.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Made all at Nottingham last month and not disgraced at Ripon; should make another bold bid
18 (7)	Albegone Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	119	p	204208	64	93	66	7d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+4	6.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Last two runs have been poor; dangerously well handicapped but opposable on balance
16 (1)	South Parade Bay J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Richard & Peter Fahey	J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Richard & Peter Fahey	126	—	079-00	71	88	57	20d	—	—	+3	6.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
On a dangerous mark but doesn't look in much form; needs to rediscover her spark
NR (8)	Law Of Average Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	131	—	6979-1	76	92	78	17d	—	—	—	16.5	—	—
Made all at Bath last month; back up 4lb but still well treated on 2024 form
