Absent 301 days and hooded but he should bring potential to this handicap debut
10 (3)	Bodorgan Grey J:Ryan Moore T:Charles Hills	J:Ryan Moore T:Charles Hills	126	—	031-57	86	96	82	26d	—	—	-6	15.2	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Creditable fifth of 11 on h'cap/seasonal debut at Haydock; underperformed 3 weeks later
NR (2)	Good Karma Grey J:James Doyle T:James Ferguson	J:James Doyle T:James Ferguson	131	—	01-10	91	97	52	21d	—	0W/1P 1 run	-2	15.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Four races; handicap debut at Royal Ascot was no disgrace but he needs to raise his game
9 (6)	Bling On The Music Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	127	—	71-845	78	96	78	27d	—	—	-3	11	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Ran respectably at 1m last two outings, making most on latest, but needs better than that
3 (8)	Titian Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:Julie Camacho	J:Cieren Fallon T:Julie Camacho	135	—	0-3426	86	98	67	68d	—	—	+1	12.1	1.50/1	7 14%
Big placed efforts in two of his four starts this year; needs to be at his peak
2 (5)	Darkness Bay J:Neil Callan T:David Omeara	J:Neil Callan T:David Omeara	140	v	406227	91	96	87	26d	—	—	+10	18.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Even if bouncing back from his last run, others may prove better handicapped
6 (7)	United Front Bay J:Frederick Larson(3) T:Michael Appleby	J:Frederick Larson(3) T:Michael Appleby	133	—	435215	84	101	91	15d	—	—	+12	21.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Finally came good on turf last month and not discredited at Carlisle on latest outing
1 (10)	Greatgadian Bay J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	142	p	436730	93	99	71	22d	—	—	+7	16.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
No win since AW last May and his strike-rate on turf is 1-15; down weights and in class
4 (1)	Sirona Bay J:William Buick T:Charlie Johnston	J:William Buick T:Charlie Johnston	134	—	218-40	94	95	55	48d	—	—	+6	12.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Down in class and there's a rethink on the trip but she does not look on a great mark
NR (4)	Soar Above Grey Roan J:Jonathan Fisher(5) T:John Butler	J:Jonathan Fisher(5) T:John Butler	133	—	4-8333	84	94	-	50d	—	—	+6	9.4	6.75/1	28 4%
Seen far more often on AW; sole turf win (2021) was here but others are more persuasive
