Gold Cup win took his record to 4-4; improving fast and should have lots more to offer
2 (11)	Coltrane Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	137	—	212-12	117	124	90	40d	—	—	+2	22.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Close second to Courage Mon Ami when favourite for the Ascot Gold Cup; major contender
11 (6)	Emily Dickinson Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	134	—	1-1641	111	123	88	10d	—	—	+10	27.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Ballydoyle filly; has form figures of 4111 on soft/heavy; respected granted ideal ground
7 (10)	Lone Eagle Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	137	b	57-529	109	116	83	40d	—	—	+10	16.5	3.25/1	14 7%
Non-stayer (and shaped better than bare result) over 2m4f in Gold Cup; 2-3 at Goodwood
4 (8)	Eldar Eldarov Bay J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	J:David Egan T:Roger Varian	137	—	417-27	117	122	102	40d	—	—	+11	18.9	2.25/1	10 10%
Disappointing in the Gold Cup but generally progressive otherwise; still of interest
1 (2)	Broome Bay J:William Buick T:A P Obrien	J:William Buick T:A P Obrien	137	—	8-5130	118	123	98	40d	—	—	+13	18.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Won the Dubai Gold Cup but subsequent form puts him down the pecking order here
6 (9)	Giavellotto Chestnut J:Andrea Atzeni T:Marco Botti	J:Andrea Atzeni T:Marco Botti	137	—	132-91	113	117	104	74d	—	—	+12	17.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Won the Yorkshire Cup when last seen; open to further progress; appealing type
9 (4)	Quickthorn Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Hughie Morrison	J:Tom Marquand T:Hughie Morrison	137	—	65-641	113	122	95	45d	—	—	+13	16.8	5.25/1	22 5%
Smart front-runner but record suggests he's vulnerable back at the top level
10 (1)	Tashkhan Bay J:James Doyle T:Brian Ellison	J:James Doyle T:Brian Ellison	137	—	43-343	106	114	85	17d	—	—	+11	15	6.00/1	25 4%
Often performs respectably but he's well exposed; stiff task in this field
8 (7)	Ocean Wind Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Teal	137	b	2223/3	105	113	60	25d	—	—	+15	17.2	16.25/1	66 2%
Signs of retaining ability at Sandown on return from long absence; this is harder
5 (3)	Enemy Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	137	t	-12855	109	120	73	68d	—	—	+17	18.6	49.75/1	200 1%
