Better than bare result suggests here last time; progressive otherwise; still of interest
4 (5)	Rhoscolyn Bay J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	126	t	921017	94	116	101	18d	—	—	+5	29.3	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Has done all his winning at about 7f; still one to consider seriously in this field
2 (6)	The Gatekeeper Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	128	—	022010	96	115	103	11d	—	—	+10	25.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Showed useful form twice over C&D last month; return to Goodwood is a plus
5 (2)	Hafeet Alain Bay J:Connor Planas(3) T:Ed Walker	J:Connor Planas(3) T:Ed Walker	123	—	641248	91	115	108	20d	—	—	+7	19.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Below par on AW last time; in decent form on turf otherwise of late
6 (1)	Sweet Reward Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	122	—	251716	90	114	104	11d	—	—	+14	22.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Has done all his winning at 1m1f/1m2f; drop back to 1m looks a negative
1 (7)	Fox Tal Bay J:Joshua Bryan T:Andrew Balding	J:Joshua Bryan T:Andrew Balding	135	—	13-426	103	114	69	32d	—	—	+9	14.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Capable on his day but remains quirky and has scored only once since 2019
7 (4)	Crystal Casque Chestnut J:Oliver Searle(7) T:Rod Millman	J:Oliver Searle(7) T:Rod Millman	118	—	517171	86	112	106	19d	—	—	+21	27.7	3.75/1	16 6%
Good recent strike-rate but now has a career-high mark to overcome
