2-2 for George Boughey since dropped to sprint trips; almost certainly still well treated

10 (3)	Pillow Talk Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:K R Burke	J:Daniel Tudhope T:K R Burke	126	—	216-27	93	107	82	19d	—	—	+8	11.8	5.25/1	22 5%
Her two standout efforts have come at York; below par in France latest; others more solid
22 (10)	The Big Board Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Richard Hannon	J:Oisin Murphy T:Richard Hannon	121	—	2224-1	88	112	99	25d	—	—	+17	20.6	5.25/1	22 5%

2 (14)	Walbank Bay J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	133	b	2123-7	100	109	97	36d	—	—	+10	13.3	8.00/1	33 3%
Group-placed at two; sharper for reappearance; stable/handicap debut; blinkers first time
7 (5)	Danger Alert Bay J:William Buick T:George Boughey	J:William Buick T:George Boughey	127	b	-12191	94	113	81	44d	—	—	+27	30.4	8.00/1	33 3%
3-5 since blinkered & may not have reached his ceiling just yet; more appealing than many

Two wins in small fields last year; fair effort at York on return but career best needed

Useful sprinter but even latest career-best Windsor second needs bettering in this field

9 (22)	Rogue Spirit Bay J:Adam Farragher(3) T:Tom Clover	J:Adam Farragher(3) T:Tom Clover	127	—	3718-0	94	112	104	36d	—	—	+9	11.6	16.25/1	66 2%
His Haydock win last September gives him claims but he has no comparable form
