11 (9)	Oh Herberts Reign Bay J:Adrian Nicholls T:Richard Hannon	J:Adrian Nicholls T:Richard Hannon	161	—	053452	66	57	45	8d	—	—	-4	15.6	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Three wins as a 2yo included a C&D soft-ground win; went close on the AW last week
15 (3)	I Still Have Faith Bay J:Tom Scudamore T:B F Brookhouse	J:Tom Scudamore T:B F Brookhouse	157	h	221134	70	58	45	30d	—	—	+3	21.3	0.75/1	4 25%
Having a decent season, holding his form well; however, there are doubts about soft ground
3 (6)	Cliffs Of Capri Bay J:Jamie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Jamie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	161	b	005579	70	60	45	62d	—	—	-2	7.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Last British win was in 2018; goes on all ground but he's not had the best of seasons
9 (15)	Mr Cuddihy Chestnut J:Jason Edmunds T:Michael Appleby	J:Jason Edmunds T:Michael Appleby	161	—	5/492	68	55	38	30d	—	—	-2	6.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
2nd on recent handicap debut; soft ground would be a first but he's the dark horse
12 (11)	Soames Forsyte Bay J:Russ Kennemore T:Michael Herrington	J:Russ Kennemore T:Michael Herrington	161	—	449737	69	56	36	11d	—	—	0	9.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
A repeat of his penultimate close third on soft at Beverley shouldn't see him far away
6 (1)	Devasboy Grey J:William Kennedy T:Ian Williams	J:William Kennedy T:Ian Williams	161	v	084355	69	60	51	21d	—	—	+1	8.4	2.50/1	11 9%
0-10 for this yard but has threatened on occasions and 1m on soft ground is fine
4 (12)	Culcor Bay J:Davy Russell T:David Omeara	J:Davy Russell T:David Omeara	161	—	0-7956	69	50	35	21d	—	—	0	6.5	3.25/1	14 7%
Winner in Ireland but has yet to offer a great deal in British handicaps
8 (8)	Lions Dream Bay J:Robbie Power T:Michael Appleby	J:Robbie Power T:Michael Appleby	161	hp	648588	70	58	27	15d	—	—	+1	6.6	3.75/1	16 6%
0-9 since debut win; going nowhere fast in handicaps and has looked a hard ride
17 (14)	Dougies Dream Bay J:Megan Nicholls T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Megan Nicholls T:Nigel Tinkler	161	p	374160	65	52	45	33d	—	—	+5	10.4	3.25/1	14 7%
His C&D win in June was on good ground and those conditions are perhaps ideal
2 (4)	Biplane Bay J:Paul Hanagan T:John Wainwright	J:Paul Hanagan T:John Wainwright	161	p	314107	65	51	35	9d	—	—	+8	12	4.75/1	20 5%
Redcar winner in June but disappointing since then on either side of a two-month break
1 (16)	Always Fearless Chestnut J:Richard Johnson T:Richard Hannon	J:Richard Johnson T:Richard Hannon	161	b	097161	65	52	39	15d	—	—	+15	20.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Won two of last three; lightly raced on soft but one of his best RPRs came on that surface
NR (5)	Global Spectrum Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Gay Kelleway	J:NON-RUNNER T:Gay Kelleway	161	—	9559-7	65	-	-	159d	—	—	-45	23.8	6.75/1	28 4%
Has a lot to prove on many counts, including his effectiveness on slow ground
14 (17)	Frequent Flyer Bay J:Mark Enright T:Archie Watson	J:Mark Enright T:Archie Watson	157	b	-59467	65	46	23	53d	—	—	+1	5	5.25/1	22 5%
Twice runner-up for Andrew Balding but left that yard as a nine-race maiden
NR (2)	Dandy Maestro Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Richard Spencer	J:NON-RUNNER T:Richard Spencer	161	tp	652949	70	59	20	38d	—	—	+1	8.5	2.75/1	12 8%
A while since he won but standout run this season came at about 1m on soft; new aids
13 (7)	Comedian Leader Bay J:Gay Kelleway T:Gay Kelleway	J:Gay Kelleway T:Gay Kelleway	157	t	507389	68	50	45	23d	—	—	+4	6.7	9.75/1	40 3%
AW wins on the AW; she's 0-8 on turf and has no soft-ground form to boast about
10 (10)	Mykonos St John Bay J:Mattie Batchelor T:Scott Dixon	J:Mattie Batchelor T:Scott Dixon	161	p	60-988	67	48	-	11d	—	—	+2	5.1	9.75/1	40 3%
Did well in 2022 but he's looked cold as ice on the AW during a very quiet last 12 months
16 (18)	Vondelpark Bay J:Gary Bardwell T:Sara Ender	J:Gary Bardwell T:Sara Ender	157	—	347170	69	53	33	19d	—	—	+8	10.5	8.00/1	33 3%
Below par of late but his ability to handle the forecast slow conditions ticks a big box
NR (13)	Eleven Eleven Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Jessica Macey	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jessica Macey	161	—	358700	56	-	20	43d	—	—	+1	1.7	24.75/1	100 1%
Reserve; soft ground is fine but he's bottom of the pile here on ratings
