Good second on heavy going last October and he twice ran well on soft last month
7 (6)	High Fibre Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Harry Fry	J:Saffie Osborne T:Harry Fry	130	—	361/2-	89	105	97	396d	—	—	+1	20.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Off 396 days; new yard; could still be capable of better if all is well; stamina in family
4 (7)	Nathanael Greene Bay J:Adam Farragher(3) T:William Haggas	J:Adam Farragher(3) T:William Haggas	131	—	42140-	90	108	95	189d	—	—	+4	21.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Rather mixed messages but he won a valuable handicap at Haydock (1m6f, soft) last July

Tailed off on heavy (his only race on softer than good); good fourth on AW on reappearance
10 (5)	Ravens Ark Chestnut J:Jason Hart T:Hughie Morrison	J:Jason Hart T:Hughie Morrison	121	—	03349-	80	111	92	213d	—	—	+3	12.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Likely to give his running under today's conditions if he's tuned up like he was last May
9 (9)	Sheer Rocks Chestnut J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	128	—	14399-	87	106	92	218d	—	—	+8	14.5	2.75/1	12 8%
Unraced this year or in any race on softer than good, so he has big questions to answer
2 (4)	Rhythmic Intent Chestnut J:Daniel Tudhope T:Stuart Williams	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Stuart Williams	134	—	0/03-6	93	107	80	18d	—	—	+6	12.4	3.25/1	14 7%
On song for his second start last season; well handicapped if same happens this time

With a new trainer (his third) this year and below his best in four runs at Meydan

Spent most of his career on AW and his good run over C&D last August was on good to firm
NR (2)	Saratoga Gold Chestnut J:Kieran Shoemark T:Charles Hills	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Charles Hills	131	b	81114-	90	104	83	216d	—	—	+20	27.1	2.50/1	11 9%
In barnstorming form when blinkers were enlisted last season; bit more to prove on soft
