Beaten favourite on last 4 starts but the drop to 6f is well worth a go

Useful 2yo; scraped home on AW return; promising 2nd latest; this stiff track should suit
7 (7)	Cruise Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Ollie Sangster	J:Hollie Doyle T:Ollie Sangster	127	—	68-221	80	99	-	18d	—	—	-4	11.9	11/2 15%
Improved in 6f AW handicaps for new yard; should be no problem with return to turf
9 (4)	Grenham Bay Grey J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	125	—	35-411	78	104	80	25d	—	—	+1	9.4	17/2 11%
Nothing flash but tenacious to win last 2 starts at 6f on AW/turf; can improve further
10 (5)	Fox Master Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:Roger Varian	J:Marco Ghiani T:Roger Varian	123	—	153	76	95	63	17d	—	—	+8	16.9	11 9%
Won 6f AW debut; needs more than 3rd at Ascot but fast ground will suit better
4 (1)	Safari Dream Bay J:Ross Coakley T:Rod Millman	J:Ross Coakley T:Rod Millman	131	—	1110-3	84	97	90	23d	—	—	+7	13.1	14 7%
Inconclusive 6f form as 2yo after winning all three 5f handicaps; should stay this far
5 (10)	Carmela Brown J:Clifford Lee T:David Loughnane	J:Clifford Lee T:David Loughnane	130	—	8570-5	83	96	93	19d	—	—	+4	10	14 7%
Sharp early 2yo at 5f; stiff assignments after; fair return at Chester and should stay 6f
2 (9)	Lakota Blue Brown J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	134	—	19-618	87	97	83	19d	—	—	+5	10.9	16 6%
Three 6f wins, including on good to firm; hampered latest; should be thereabouts

Often leads; C&D maiden winner as 2yo; needs improvement to make winning return
8 (3)	Mehme Bay J:Dane O'Neill T:Richard Hannon	J:Dane O'Neill T:Richard Hannon	127	—	55116-	80	93	69	233d	—	—	+17	20.5	28 4%
Stayed on well to win 7f handicap as 2yo; strong pace will suit back at 6f; may need this
