Progressing well; Prix Morny success took his record to 3-3; top on ratings; chief player
5 (8)	River Tiber Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	128	—	1113	-	123	105	41d	—	—	+2	24.7	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Coventry winner; had setback in the lead-up to the Morny (still ran creditably); respected
8 (9)	Task Force Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	128	—	11	100	112	99	33d	—	—	+22	32.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Promising colt who is two from two; Listed win at Ripon latest; interesting prospect
4 (1)	Lake Forest Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	128	—	1241	109	121	115	36d	—	—	+25	32.2	2.50/1	11 9%
Bounced back to win the Gimcrack but it looked a substandard edition of that York prize
3 (2)	Jasour Grey J:Richard Kingscote T:Clive Cox	J:Richard Kingscote T:Clive Cox	128	—	2118	109	118	96	41d	—	—	+23	30.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Won the July Stakes; unsuited by slow surface in the Morny; remains of major interest
2 (7)	Givemethebeatboys Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	128	—	1143	106	115	93	49d	—	—	+21	26.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Ran respectably in the Coventry and the Phoenix but needs to show improvement
1 (4)	Elite Status Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	128	—	11317	104	116	102	41d	—	—	+23	28.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Useful colt but a poor effort in the Morny puts him down the pecking order today
7 (6)	Starlust Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	128	—	511221	103	111	102	21d	—	—	+31	35.5	3.75/1	16 6%
Steadily progressive colt whose form stacks up well; won the Sirenia most recently
6 (5)	Sketch Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Freddie & Martyn Meade	J:Oisin Murphy T:Freddie & Martyn Meade	128	—	163	97	108	93	35d	—	—	+18	20.3	17.25/1	70 1%
Ran well in 5f Listed race at York last time; this is a much harder task
