C&D winner; this very lightly raced 4yo is open to further improvement; interesting
11 (6)	Struth Chestnut J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	121	—	5-1203	95	108	96	7d	—	—	-6	18.5	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Stays 1m6f; needs to find a bit extra but, as the sole 3yo in this field, he might find it
3 (7)	Al Nafir Chestnut J:James Doyle T:Charlie Appleby	J:James Doyle T:Charlie Appleby	136	—	2561-0	98	111	86	22d	—	—	+5	14.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Won valuable 1m4f handicap in October; questions to answer after his Royal Ascot flop
NR (4)	Max Mayhem Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	135	—	73-186	97	106	97	22d	—	—	-5	19	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Good sixth of 18 over C&D at the Royal meeting suggests he will be on the premises
NR (2)	Fulfilled Bay J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	123	—	22-141	85	102	91	21d	—	—	+3	11	2.25/1	10 10%
2-3 in 2023; 10lb higher than last time (including 5lb wrong) but has more to give at 1m4f
5 (9)	Saratoga Gold Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane(3) T:Charles Hills	J:Billy Loughnane(3) T:Charles Hills	135	b	14-3U1	97	110	54	9d	—	—	+6	14.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
A revelation in blinkers last term and the ease of his recent AW win was quite something
NR (5)	Kitsune Power Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Roger Varian	J:NON-RUNNER T:Roger Varian	132	—	210-93	94	111	62	26d	—	—	+5	13.4	3.25/1	14 7%
Back near his best form when third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) on latest outing

Won at Kempton before below best behind Saratoga Gold nine days ago; need a career best
2 (11)	Lucander Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:George Baker	J:Pat Cosgrave T:George Baker	140	b	415930	102	109	94	22d	—	—	+12	19	3.25/1	14 7%
Not at all discredited at Royal Ascot three weeks ago; has fewer rivals to pass this time
1 (10)	Jack Darcy Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Paul & Oliver Cole	J:Hector Crouch T:Paul & Oliver Cole	142	—	2547-5	104	106	95	49d	—	—	+10	14.9	4.75/1	20 5%
Made the running when below form on Listed reappearance; needs a career best
9 (8)	Oneforthegutter Bay J:Ben Curtis T:Ian Williams	J:Ben Curtis T:Ian Williams	123	—	040-88	85	106	62	20d	—	—	+6	10	6.00/1	25 4%
Well down the weights; one of his best 1m2f runs last term gives hope for this new trip
