Needed every yard of the 5f trip at Navan; trainer has won this race six times; respected
13 (17)	La Guarida ch J:Kevin Stott T:Richard Hannon	J:Kevin Stott T:Richard Hannon	126	—	31	-	103	97	28d	—	—	+5	14.8	15/2 12%
Scored comfortably at Goodwood on second start and that form is strong; leading claims
5 (9)	Lightning Leo ch J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	131	—	1	-	93	70	23d	—	—	+4	12.5	17/2 11%
Rallied tenaciously to beat Sayedaty Sadaty and Quatre Bras at Yarmouth; looks game

Won barrier trial in a fast time, then justified favouritism at Limerick; looks talented
3 (15)	Golden Mind b J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	131	—	31	-	98	68	25d	—	—	+8	13.8	12 8%

Caught the eye over 6f at Windsor, shaping as if he's crying out for this longer trip
9 (10)	Sayedaty Sadaty b J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	131	—	2	-	93	69	23d	—	—	+2	6.2	22 5%

NR (6)	Quatre Bras b J:NON-RUNNER T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	131	—	3	-	91	67	23d	—	—	-1	4.4	22 5%
Nicely bred; ties in closely with Lightning Leo and Sayedaty Sadaty on Yarmouth running
11 (11)	Carolina Reaper b J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	126	—	4	-	78	63	13d	—	—	-2	0.9	28 4%
Eyecatching fourth at Beverley but did not shape as if this drop to bare 7f will suit
15 (2)	Nemonte br J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	126	—	1	-	96	61	29d	—	—	+7	11	22 5%

1 (12)	Count Palatine b J:Sean Levey T:Brian Meehan	J:Sean Levey T:Brian Meehan	131	—	5	-	83	73	26d	—	—	-3	1	28 4%

4 (4)	Hot Fuss b J:Richard Kingscote T:Tom Dascombe	J:Richard Kingscote T:Tom Dascombe	131	—	4	-	79	50	17d	—	—	-2	0.6	50 2%
Made an encouraging debut at Newbury (6.5f) and this extra yardage is a likely plus
2 (1)	Dallas Star b J:Rowan Scott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Rowan Scott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	131	—	3	-	84	64	15d	—	—	+2	3.5	80 1%
Showed ability with his third-place finish at Haydock, though had the run of the race
14 (3)	Maymay b J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	126	—	824	-	88	81	22d	—	—	+2	4	66 2%
Ran well in the Woodcote but three defeats leave her looking vulnerable in this field
