7 (4)	Alhambra Palace Bay J:David Probert T:William Haggas	J:David Probert T:William Haggas	128	—	7-6421	73	95	72	5d	—	—	-25	21.1	0.23/1	10/11 52%
Off the mark in emphatic fashion at Ascot five days ago; 6lb penalty unlikely to stop him
5 (2)	Kyle Of Lochalsh Bay J:James Doyle T:Hughie Morrison	J:James Doyle T:Hughie Morrison	130	t	085-41	75	91	60	20d	—	—	-8	12	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Did it well when off the mark at Newbury last time; looks the type to carry on improving
1 (5)	Grand Providence Bay J:Hayley Turner T:Andrew Balding	J:Hayley Turner T:Andrew Balding	135	—	3311	80	89	82	26d	—	—	+20	29.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Bids for hat-trick off 3lb higher; no reason to believe progress has halted; sure to stay
2 (1)	Cavern Club Chestnut J:Robert Havlin T:Marco Botti	J:Robert Havlin T:Marco Botti	134	p	31-354	79	89	81	12d	—	—	+2	9.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Hasn't always looked the easiest and others are more convincing
3 (6)	Roost Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	131	—	32-724	76	91	52	78d	—	—	+2	8.2	2.75/1	12 8%
0-5 but twice runner-up; latest effort can be excused; gelded since and could play a part
8 (7)	Balboa Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Milton Harris	J:Callum Shepherd T:Milton Harris	123	—	5-4465	68	90	75	26d	—	—	+1	5.7	4.75/1	20 5%
0-5 and makes his debut for his new yard after 36,000gns sale; probably best watched
4 (3)	Enochdhu Bay J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Jonathan Portman	131	—	-41279	76	93	72	12d	—	—	+9	13.1	6.00/1	25 4%
Well held in last two starts; more exposed than his rivals and needs to bounce back
6 (8)	Royal Deeside Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Alan King	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Alan King	128	—	474-43	73	88	64	33d	—	—	+3	6.6	6.75/1	28 4%
Well behind the runner-up when 3rd at Doncaster last time; 2lb drop is not enough to tempt
