11 (1)	Paddy The Squire Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	120	t	402	79	90	72	46d	—	—	-2	18	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Improved effort after a wind op last month (1m2f, soft); more to come now handicapping
5 (7)	Prophets Dream Grey J:Tom Marquand T:Sir Mark Todd	J:Tom Marquand T:Sir Mark Todd	135	—	752-11	82	94	81	26d	—	—	-1	11.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
2-2 this year, both over 1m2f from the front; still has some potential
10 (9)	Forceful Speed Chestnut J:William Buick T:George Boughey	J:William Buick T:George Boughey	121	t	1215-5	80	89	61	84d	—	—	0	10.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
C&D winner; too free when only 5th on his reappearance; now tongue-tied
4 (2)	Cockalorum Bay J:Jason Hart T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Jason Hart T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	137	—	25-114	84	96	72	8d	—	—	+1	11.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
2 front-running wins at Ripon this year; held up when 4th last week; well drawn to attack
7 (4)	My Little Queens Grey J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	131	—	3-1216	78	92	84	14d	—	—	+2	11.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Two wins this year and still looked in form despite only finishing sixth two weeks ago
9 (3)	Highwaygrey Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	127	—	0-3855	74	96	77	9d	—	—	-1	8.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Good record over C&D and although it's been mixed so far this year, a big run is likely
3 (5)	Million Thanks Chestnut J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	138	—	922052	85	93	70	17d	—	—	+10	18.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Yet to win a handicap and stamina not assured; has run some fine races at 1m this year
NR (10)	Shimmering Sands Bay J:Shane Gray T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Shane Gray T:Michael & David Easterby	131	t	310-31	78	98	72	22d	—	—	+1	9.4	2.00/1	9 11%
Progressive form at this trip and he won easily at Doncaster last time; 6lb rise fair
1 (8)	Oneforthegutter Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	140	—	0040-8	87	95	90	45d	—	—	+4	11.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Useful 2yo; down in the weights and his reappearance wasn't without hope; considered
2 (11)	Eeetee Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	139	—	7-1016	86	94	82	14d	—	—	+5	10.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Two 1m2f wins this year; didn't stay 1m4f last time but travelled notably well; considered
6 (6)	Knight Of Honour Bay J:David Nolan T:Richard Fahey	J:David Nolan T:Richard Fahey	132	—	083696	79	97	57	13d	—	—	+6	8.9	8.00/1	33 3%
Winner in Bahrain in January but patchy record since returned to Britain; opposable
