Monte A Bord
45,000gns yearling; close second on bumper debut at Kelso (2m, good) last September and he justified favouritism in similar conditions at Newcastle the following month; this is a different test on his return but he has useful Flat pedigree and needs watching in market.

Ladies Day 9th May "Confined" Novice Stakes (No more than two runs) (GBB/GBBPlus Race) (Div II)
Slowly into stride - soon prominent on inner - pressed leaders over 3f out - bit short of room against rail when outpaced over 1f out - rallied and went fourth inside final 110yds - not pace to challenge(op 25/1)
Download The Raceday Ready App Open Maiden National Hunt Flat Race (Cat 3 Elimination) (GBB Race)
Raced in third - went second over 3f out - ridden to lead over 1f out - kept on and edged right inside final 110yds - always doing enough(op 11/8 tchd 5/4)
racingtv.com/freetrial Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race)
Towards rear - outpaced and pushed along 6f out - still plenty to do 3f out - rallied and steady headway from 2f out - kept on well inside final furlong - went second towards finish - eyecatcher(op 11/2 tchd 6/1)
Out of a 7f Listed winner; shaped with some promise when a staying-on fourth on Wolverhampton debut (1m4f) in December, but he was tailed off on his return visit two weeks later; was never travelling in that race and has something to prove on his return.

Dwelt start - towards rear - bumped over 3f out - headway on outer over 2f out - went third over 1f out - lost third inside final furlong - lost fourth when no extra inside final 110yds(op 12/1)
125,000gns yearling by Camelot; beaten around 6l in his two runs in the autumn, most recently when third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) in October; doesn't set a high standard on that form but this step back up in trip looks a good move and he should have more to offer this season.

Prominent early - in touch with leaders after 1f - outpaced over 2f out - rallied inside final furlong - not pace to challenge(op 18/1)
Half-brother to two useful winners but he made a low-key start when seventh of ten at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November; should know more this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip on his return.
