#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
8 (3)	Buddys Beauty Bay J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:John Gallagher	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:John Gallagher	134	h	8-3112	68	83	71	41d	—	—	-9	10.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Progressing well this summer but ground a query and she has an aversion to the stalls
3 (9)	Four Adaay Bay J:P J McDonald T:Rod Millman	J:P J McDonald T:Rod Millman	138	b	234332	72	81	72	10d	—	—	+2	19.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
String of good runs this season and no obvious reason why she won't go well once again
6 (5)	Sarahs Verse Bay J:David Egan T:Ronald Harris	J:David Egan T:Ronald Harris	136	—	652358	70	83	71	9d	—	—	-3	12.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Not at best the last twice but a well-run race over 5f on slow ground should suit
12 (2)	Gustav Graves Bay J:Connor Planas(3) T:Derek Shaw	J:Connor Planas(3) T:Derek Shaw	121	—	564452	55	81	62	16d	—	—	-2	9.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D winner; in good form of late and handles slow ground; each-way claims again
2 (12)	Speedacus Chestnut J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	138	v	717546	72	84	76	11d	—	—	0	10.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
None too consistent but conditions will suit, as will the return to Class 5 company
4 (8)	Sera Dawn Bay J:George Bass(3) T:Jack Channon	J:George Bass(3) T:Jack Channon	137	—	144345	72	82	70	31d	—	—	+1	9.5	1.75/1	8 13%
Two wins in the spring; progress has stalled more recently but back to a feasible mark
7 (6)	Fortunate Star Chestnut J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Declan Carroll	136	—	521437	71	81	69	35d	—	—	+6	13.3	3.25/1	14 7%
Didn't take to blinkers last time but he was on the up beforehand; conditions should suit
5 (10)	Cinque Verde Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Tony Carroll	J:Tom Marquand T:Tony Carroll	137	—	616724	72	71	46	16d	—	—	+7	12.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Recent improvement has come on AW but she handles slow turf; no headgear today
9 (11)	Herakles Bay J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	J:Graham Lee T:Paul Midgley	131	—	-30859	66	82	62	30d	—	—	+2	5.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Mixed bag for B Smart but on a dangerous mark if new yard can find the key to him
11 (1)	Wiley Post Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Tony Carroll	J:Saffie Osborne T:Tony Carroll	125	b	-53675	59	83	64	31d	—	—	+1	4	6.00/1	25 4%
In and out this summer and opposable despite his reduced mark
10 (7)	Glamorous Express Bay J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	127	t	9-8675	61	69	59	49d	—	—	+1	3.5	9.75/1	40 3%
Struggled with the handicapper after a Bath win at two; down in weights but risky
1 (4)	Wakai Umi Bay J:Luke Morris T:Mark Loughnane	J:Luke Morris T:Mark Loughnane	138	—	211-60	73	65	63	121d	—	—	+4	6.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Three wins last year but something to prove after two low-key efforts this year
