Awarded Group 3 at the Curragh last time and could have more to offer; player

Went close off top weight in prestigious Newbury handicap and he's firmly in calculations
16 (10)	Caernarfon Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Jack Channon	J:Connor Beasley T:Jack Channon	125	—	131-43	112	128	98	20d	—	—	+7	18.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Much improved when 40-1 third in the Oaks and holds leading form claims now against males

Very solid efforts in defeat on both starts this year and could have more left in the tank
15 (7)	Waipiro Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	128	—	6-126	107	121	90	19d	—	—	+7	17.1	1.75/1	8 13%

4 (8)	Bolster Bay J:James Doyle T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:James Doyle T:Simon & Ed Crisford	128	—	1-1	-	111	84	10d	—	—	+14	18	5.25/1	22 5%
2-2; takes a steep rise in grade here but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie

Beat just three rivals for Sandown Listed win but could have even more to offer
5 (6)	Canberra Legend Chestnut J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Ferguson	J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Ferguson	128	—	119	103	119	93	35d	—	—	+22	26.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Disappointing in Dante but retains potential in view of previous Listed win at Newmarket
12 (16)	Oviedo Bay J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	128	—	308-61	100	119	86	24d	—	—	+10	13.5	5.25/1	22 5%
Won Redcar handicap last month; needs another step forward but did it cosily last time

Listed winner in April but down the field in the Dante and the Derby since
13 (2)	Tony Montana Bay J:Kevin Stott T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kevin Stott T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	2-3	-	102	78	34d	—	—	+5	7.2	9.75/1	40 3%
0-2 and bundles to find on form, but this 425,000gns yearling is in top hands
7 (13)	Dancing Magic Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	128	ht	244-30	104	117	87	35d	—	—	+12	14.2	9.75/1	40 3%
Well beaten in the Dante but the hood could help him settle better; not a forlorn hope
1 (3)	Brave Emperor Bay J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	132	b	211213	106	118	-	11d	—	—	+30	32	16.25/1	66 2%
Won 8.5f German Group 3 in April but suspicion he's vulnerable under a 4lb penalty
