Albany third who was a bit disappointing at Sandown on Thursday (7f) and had a hard race
11 (4)	Symbology Grey J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	128	—	1	-	94	87	15d	—	—	-2	15	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Only 2-1 when a comfortable winner at York; hard to know how good she might be
8 (8)	Pretty Crystal Chestnut J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	128	—	15	97	106	90	36d	—	—	+5	24.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Ripon winner who kept on for fifth in the Albany; her dam won a Group race on soft
2 (6)	Dazzling Star Bay J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	128	—	81	-	96	83	29d	—	—	0	14	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Bolted up at Newmarket and a Lowther entry would suggest there's more to come from her
7 (5)	Lunar Shine Bay J:P J McDonald T:James Horton	J:P J McDonald T:James Horton	128	—	1	-	94	78	39d	—	—	0	14	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Came from near last to first at Thirsk, looking decidedly useful; respected
1 (10)	Cry Fiction Grey J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	128	—	12	93	97	86	28d	—	—	+17	25.1	2.50/1	11 9%
No match for an easy winner at Newmarket but that's fairly strong form; not ruled out
9 (1)	Sacred Angel Grey J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	128	—	31	-	96	83	16d	—	—	+8	13.7	3.25/1	14 7%
The workmanlike winner of a fillies' maiden at the July meeting; bred to stay well
3 (11)	Elinor Dashwood b/br J:Neil Callan T:Kevin Ryan	J:Neil Callan T:Kevin Ryan	128	—	41	-	93	67	23d	—	—	+6	11.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Just a narrow winner at Haydock and difficult to know how she'll cope with a rise in class
5 (3)	Komat Bay J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Kevin Stott T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	128	—	136	95	104	87	36d	—	—	+10	21.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Coped well with soft initially and came from well behind to be 6th here in the Albany
4 (9)	Gladly Ever After Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Archie Watson	J:Oisin Murphy T:Archie Watson	128	—	1	-	86	57	19d	—	—	+6	11.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Won comfortably at Chepstow but beat nothing of note and this looks a tall order
6 (2)	La Guarida Chestnut J:David Egan T:Richard Hannon	J:David Egan T:Richard Hannon	128	—	3105	89	100	95	7d	—	—	+13	16.5	6.75/1	28 4%
Essentially disappointing given how smart she looked at Goodwood in May
