Won twice over 6f at Brighton last month and is probably still on a workable mark

Dual sprint winner this spring; a possible if stamina holds out on first attempt at 7f

Second three times off today's mark since clearcut win at Brighton in May; considered

AW winner in March; well beaten next time; tricky to weigh up on belated turf debut
5 (5)	Flagman Bay J:Taylor Fisher(5) T:Deborah Faulkner	J:Taylor Fisher(5) T:Deborah Faulkner	135	—	9-1969	55	67	21	3d	—	—	-11	6.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Narrow AW winner on seasonal debut but subsequent form has been underwhelming
7 (3)	Fact Or Fable Grey J:Liam Keniry T:J S Moore	J:Liam Keniry T:J S Moore	131	p	143117	51	66	55	9d	—	—	-5	21.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Three wins this season; below form last time but should cope if the ground turns soft
2 (2)	My Opinion Bay J:Luke Morris T:John Oshea	J:Luke Morris T:John Oshea	138	p	446-30	58	63	24	86d	—	—	-1	3.3	6.75/1	28 4%
Placed at 66-1 on AW in March but in rear throughout on next outing; hard to predict
