2 (3)	Silver Gunn Grey J:Neil Callan T:Marco Botti	J:Neil Callan T:Marco Botti	135	—	986-37	80	94	73	42d	—	—	-5	12.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Positive reappearance here; failed to fire one week later, the run perhaps coming too soon
9 (9)	Eklil Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Rae Guest	J:Rossa Ryan T:Rae Guest	127	—	39-291	72	93	62	23d	—	—	-7	10.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
A second and first among his three runs this term; has a good record at this track
1 (8)	Fast Steps Bay J:P J McDonald T:Rod Millman	J:P J McDonald T:Rod Millman	137	—	0-1064	82	92	71	13d	—	—	-2	12	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D win on soft in May (2lb higher today); needs a bit better than last three efforts
8 (10)	Lady Reset Chestnut J:Hollie Doyle T:David Pipe	J:Hollie Doyle T:David Pipe	128	tb	54-445	73	93	86	12d	—	—	0	8.1	2.00/1	9 11%
Seems best on good or firmer; reappearance (1m2f) was better than last two outings (1m4f)
10 (4)	Micks Dream Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	126	p	-52204	71	93	83	18d	—	—	+3	11.8	1.75/1	8 13%
Not so good on last two outings; this is first attempt at 1m2f, which he's not bred for
5 (1)	Western Stars Bay J:William Buick T:Ed Dunlop	J:William Buick T:Ed Dunlop	131	—	44-554	76	90	69	48d	—	—	+1	8.7	2.25/1	10 10%
Won handicap debut; no progress and rather mixed form; latest one of the lesser efforts
4 (7)	Wonder Starelzaam Bay J:George Bass(3) T:Denis Coakley	J:George Bass(3) T:Denis Coakley	133	—	15-184	78	91	44	40d	—	—	+2	9.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Won five of 12 for this yard; a player back at 1m2f if the ground is not softer than good
6 (5)	Cliffs Of Capri Bay J:Dougie Costello T:Jamie Osborne	J:Dougie Costello T:Jamie Osborne	129	—	600557	74	93	77	31d	—	—	+2	7.4	3.25/1	14 7%
Way down the weights; close fifth on penultimate start but not the percentage call
7 (6)	Balgair Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Clover	J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Clover	129	—	304-53	74	91	50	48d	—	—	+3	7.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
No win since 2021; ground softer than good would be a big worry
3 (2)	Way Of Life Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	135	—	23250-	80	91	60	322d	—	—	+9	13	5.25/1	22 5%
Good sequence ended when tailed off last August and not seen since; has a competitive mark
