Useful C&D form as 2yo; doing well since blinkers fitted; back up 4lb; solid chance
1 (3)	Whenthedealinsdone Bay J:William Buick T:Roger Teal	J:William Buick T:Roger Teal	139	p	472700	87	97	76	18d	—	—	+1	14.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Very competent when on song; course winner at 6f as 2yo; only odd flicker of life in 2023
11 (6)	Four Adaay Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Rod Millman	J:Oisin Murphy T:Rod Millman	125	b	541423	73	94	83	19d	—	—	+7	18.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%

Useful 2yo; slow start to 2023 but in good form at about 5f now; should give good account
8 (7)	Fantasy Master Chestnut J:David Egan T:Darryll Holland	J:David Egan T:Darryll Holland	131	p	-72610	79	94	81	35d	—	—	+10	18.1	2.25/1	10 10%
Two most recent wins at 6f but also useful at 5f; a strong pace would suit
6 (5)	Katey Kontent Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	136	—	1166-7	86	91	56	63d	—	—	+4	10.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%

Multiple AW winner; rarely races on turf but close up at Windsor latest; not forlorn
2 (4)	Punchbowl Flyer Bay J:Charles Bishop T:John Oshea	J:Charles Bishop T:John Oshea	138	b	07766-	86	91	77	302d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+6	10.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Suited by soft or slower; off since October and has much to prove over 5f for new yard
