Best judged on his latest 6f Newbury second off 3lb lower; holds obvious claims on that
5 (4)	Johnny Johnson Bay J:David Probert T:Rod Millman	J:David Probert T:Rod Millman	132	—	5243	72	78	60	35d	—	—	-3	16.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Tonight's easier course should help; maybe wouldn't want too much rain though
3 (2)	The Smiling Wolf Chestnut J:Rose Dawes(5) T:Jack Channon	J:Rose Dawes(5) T:Jack Channon	132	—	6762	72	82	78	14d	—	—	-1	15.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Much better from the front on his nursery debut a fortnight ago (7f); leading player
2 (3)	Defying Orders Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Archie Watson	J:Oisin Murphy T:Archie Watson	134	p	35514	74	82	61	27d	—	—	+3	18	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Well held on to soft ground in first-time cheekpieces latest; something to prove
7 (6)	La Habanera Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:David Evans	J:Richard Kingscote T:David Evans	129	t	47344	69	79	72	19d	—	—	-1	8.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Professor Tickle behind latest; is looking exposed now and needs more for the tongue-tie
6 (1)	Professor Tickle Bay J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	130	—	5145	70	79	61	19d	—	—	+6	11.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Brighton maiden win (made all) in June was nothing to write home about; held since
4 (5)	Alnoory Star Bay J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	132	—	345	72	76	27	17d	—	—	+3	8.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Has to improve a bit now entering nurseries but market strength would make her of interest
8 (8)	Koji Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Harry & Roger Charlton	J:Tom Marquand T:Harry & Roger Charlton	124	p	2659	64	78	54	21d	—	—	+2	6.2	5.25/1	22 5%
Couple of expensive defeats in early summer and has gone backwards since; plenty to prove
