Lancashire Oaks winner, not so good when too free at York latest; longer trip a worry

Three-time Listed scorer up to 1m6f; 5th to Melo Melo last month suggests not much to find
6 (5)	Mimikyu Bay J:Frankie Dettori T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Frankie Dettori T:John & Thady Gosden	131	p	10-235	-	116	106	57d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Group 2 winner as 3yo; not at best this season and needs to bounce back

Improved with each outing this term, third in the Vermeille latest; worth a go at 1m6f
8 (6)	Melo Melo Grey J:Mickael Barzalona T:F-H Graffard	J:Mickael Barzalona T:F-H Graffard	131	—	-42112	-	127	98	20d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—

Good run behind Melo Melo latest and shapes as though 1m6f will suit; not ruled out
10 (11)	Shamida Bay J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	123	—	3-3111	-	118	83	41d	—	—	—	2.1	—	—

Listed win 18 days ago (1m4f, soft); longer trip likely okay but this is a big step up
