Thrived during May (2-2); didn't get the breaks over C&D (good) seven weeks ago; chance.
1 (4)	Fairmac Grey J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	136	—	016886	76	91	74	30d	—	—	-5	14.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
C&D winner (good to soft; same mark) in April; less effective since, inc at 2m at Kempton
2 (5)	Gibside Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	135	—	-51813	75	86	59	13d	—	—	+7	24.3	0.88/1	7/2 22%
In fine form; unable to justify favouritism at York (third) recently; still a major player
3 (3)	Freak Out Bay J:Sam James T:Gemma Tutty	J:Sam James T:Gemma Tutty	133	p	565311	73	86	80	34d	—	—	+17	27.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Prominent racer; seeks a hat-trick following successive Beverley wins (1m2f); stamina?
6 (1)	A La Francaise Chestnut J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	128	—	-89225	68	86	66	28d	—	—	-1	14.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Near her peak recently, but has to reverse earlier form lines with Simple Star & Gibside.
8 (7)	Smart Lass Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	116	p	674366	56	89	65	22d	—	—	-1	4.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Musselburgh regular (six course wins); low key since finishing third over C&D in May.
5 (8)	Tendentious Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David Omeara	129	—	4208-7	69	85	80	27d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Sole win came at Doncaster (2m) in April 2022; may strip fitter for recent York comeback.
7 (2)	Cant Stop Now Chestnut J:Billy Garritty T:Iain Jardine	J:Billy Garritty T:Iain Jardine	123	h	321-40	63	87	80	11d	—	—	-2	5.2	6.75/1	28 4%
Flat (1m2f) and hurdles (2m) winner; always behind (over 1m) on recent return to action.
