1 (2)	Carlas Way Chestnut J:James Doyle T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:James Doyle T:Simon & Ed Crisford	128	t	1	-	107	102	20d	—	—	-2	15	1.13/1	9/2 18%
£350,000 2yo; made all at Doncaster and that form has been franked
13 (8)	Porta Fortuna Bay J:Frankie Dettori T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Frankie Dettori T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	128	—	11	-	113	100	33d	—	—	+6	21.4	1.00/1	5 20%
The pair were clear when she narrowly repelled Navassa Island in a Group 3 at Naas
6 (18)	Jabaara Bay J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	128	—	1	-	104	59	34d	—	—	0	14	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Plenty to like in how she picked up from behind to justify favouritism at Newmarket
18 (16)	Soprano Chestnut J:William Buick T:George Boughey	J:William Buick T:George Boughey	128	—	1	-	104	79	49d	—	—	+3	12.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Strong favourite when winning over 5f at Newmarket; 6f looks sure to suit
10 (3)	Navassa Island Bay J:Colin Keane T:M D Ocallaghan	J:Colin Keane T:M D Ocallaghan	128	—	2	-	113	99	33d	—	—	-6	9.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Perhaps unlucky not to beat Porta Fortuna when making her debut in a Group 3; promising
9 (1)	Matrika Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	128	—	1	-	94	65	26d	—	—	+4	12.5	2.50/1	11 9%
Defied market weakness at the Curragh (6f) and won with her ears pricked; nice prospect
5 (6)	Gushing Gold Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	128	—	2	-	86	41	24d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Looked unlucky not to win at Leicester first time up but this is a severe rise in class
2 (7)	Dawn Charger Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	128	—	211	-	101	92	22d	—	—	+16	20.7	4.75/1	20 5%
Others have achieved more but she's likeable and heading in the right direction
12 (13)	Persian Dreamer b/br J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	128	—	14	-	104	94	35d	—	—	+4	8.2	5.25/1	22 5%
Seriously impressive on debut and a blind eye could be turned to her York defeat
4 (10)	Flaccianello Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Richard Fahey	J:Rossa Ryan T:Richard Fahey	128	—	1	-	91	68	21d	—	—	+8	10.9	6.00/1	25 4%
Overcame distinct inexperience to win going away at Catterick; promising
3 (5)	Do It With Style Brown J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	128	—	1	-	95	66	53d	—	—	+8	10.9	8.00/1	33 3%
Well related; perhaps didn't beat much at the Curragh but it was a taking performance
14 (15)	Pretty Crystal Chestnut J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	128	—	1	-	94	64	22d	—	—	+8	10.8	8.00/1	33 3%
Ripon form is not mind-blowing but good reason to believe she can find plenty on that
8 (9)	Mapmaker Bay J:Jason Watson T:Darryll Holland	J:Jason Watson T:Darryll Holland	128	—	31	-	97	95	16d	—	—	+10	12.7	12.25/1	50 2%
Looked a nice type when winning at Newbury but Kevin Stott jumps ship to Persian Dreamer
7 (11)	Komat Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Hollie Doyle T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	128	—	13	-	96	64	37d	—	—	+9	10.5	12.25/1	50 2%
Third in French Listed race on latest; more needed but looks ready for the extra furlong
16 (12)	Sarakana Brown J:Trevor Whelan T:Ed De Giles	J:Trevor Whelan T:Ed De Giles	128	—	1	-	89	85	28d	—	—	+9	10.3	16.25/1	66 2%
Did well to overcome a slow start at Haydock but looks a minor player at this level
11 (17)	Passionately Bay J:Jason Hart T:Amy Murphy	J:Jason Hart T:Amy Murphy	128	—	51	-	88	70	17d	—	—	+9	10.2	24.75/1	100 1%
Won narrowly at Wetherby and she looks outclassed against the potential in this field
NR (14)	Snafiya Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:George Boughey	J:NON-RUNNER T:George Boughey	128	—	232	-	85	57	22d	—	—	+9	10	24.75/1	100 1%
No obvious reason why she'll be reversing last-time-out Ripon placings with Pretty Crystal
15 (4)	Rating Chestnut J:Sean Levey T:Brian Meehan	J:Sean Levey T:Brian Meehan	128	—	63	-	93	43	16d	—	—	+2	3.2	27.25/1	110 1%
Shouldn't be long in winning but this is a big ask on what she's shown thus far
