6f on slow ground in a well-run race suits ideally; good 4th at Ayr last week; e-w claims
10 (3)	Roach Power Grey J:Jim Crowley T:Tim Easterby	J:Jim Crowley T:Tim Easterby	127	—	420301	75	97	76	12d	—	—	+8	23.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Form of recent 7f win (soft) working out nicely; 5lb rise in better race may find him out
3 (2)	Royal Dress Bay J:Alec Voikhansky(5) T:Richard Hannon	J:Alec Voikhansky(5) T:Richard Hannon	139	—	372140	89	91	79	37d	—	—	+8	19.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Seems ideally suited by slow ground and could have more to come on this surface
8 (7)	Rock Opera Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	132	—	4122-4	82	89	71	29d	—	—	0	11.3	1.25/1	6 17%
Unexposed 3yo who shaped nicely on his return from a long absence; slow ground a query
7 (4)	Knebworth Bay J:Ethan Jones(7) T:Richard Hughes	J:Ethan Jones(7) T:Richard Hughes	135	—	661194	85	96	79	30d	—	—	+10	19.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
C&D winner in July and followed up at York one week later; high in weights now
1 (10)	Chairmanoftheboard Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jack Channon	J:Rob Hornby T:Jack Channon	142	v	277230	90	95	76	56d	—	—	+7	17.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
C&D winner in October 2021, his last win; excuses latest; in good form earlier; e-w claims
2 (6)	Gulliver Bay J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	141	p	460510	89	99	67	7d	—	—	+11	19.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Easy winner at Southwell this month before laboured run at Ayr last week; can do better
5 (1)	Lakota Blue Brown J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	136	—	846205	86	97	77	20d	—	—	+7	13.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Conditions to suit and on a good mark; one to consider

Chance on this year's best but quiet more recently and others look stronger
4 (8)	May Sonic Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:Charles Hills	J:Cieren Fallon T:Charles Hills	138	—	673422	86	95	74	17d	—	—	+15	19.8	3.75/1	16 6%
Knocking at the door over 5f; 6f on soft might stretch his stamina
