4 (10)	Thomas Equinas Chestnut J:Robert Havlin T:Dean Ivory	J:Robert Havlin T:Dean Ivory	131	p	226450	48	69	51	27d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-20	10.4	0.56/1	9/4 31%
C&D winner in the spring and claims if the return here sparks a resurgence

0-6 but ran his best race when third at Leicester last time; claims if building on that
1 (8)	Monaadhil Bay J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	139	p	132655	56	66	59	30d	—	—	-12	10.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Three wins over C&D and the drop back into 0-55 company is very much in his favour

Promising return at Lingfield in April, but not matched that form since; plenty to prove

Out of the frame in all nine starts over trips ranging from 7f to 1m6f; lots to prove

0-7 and hasn't built on a promising return; needs to bounce back; hood on
8 (1)	My Sand Boy Bay J:Neil Callan T:Tony Carroll	J:Neil Callan T:Tony Carroll	129	—	78/0-9	46	-	-	29d	—	—	-3	1	6.75/1	28 4%
No show in five starts on turf, but is a half-brother to a Polytrack winner
NR (5)	Apfelstrudel Bay J:Jefferson Smith T:Henry Spiller	J:Jefferson Smith T:Henry Spiller	129	—	68-590	46	57	40	131d	—	—	-2	0.9	9.75/1	40 3%
Some ability here in January but twice well held since and off 131 days; others preferred
9 (4)	Artemisia Gentile Grey J:Marco Ghiani T:J R Jenkins	J:Marco Ghiani T:J R Jenkins	129	b	80-780	46	57	-	27d	—	—	-2	0.7	12.25/1	50 2%
Third over C&D early last year, but poor for some time now and 0-13; blinkers on
10 (9)	Lashes Bay J:Josephine Gordon T:Phil Mcentee	J:Josephine Gordon T:Phil Mcentee	123	p	857090	46	55	49	51d	—	—	-2	0.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
