10 (10)	Ala Kaifi Chestnut J:Cam Hardie T:Ismail Mohammed	J:Cam Hardie T:Ismail Mohammed	125	—	342231	75	89	66	20d	—	—	+10	27.6	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Lightly raced 3yo, off the mark at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago
1 (5)	Quantum Leap Chestnut J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	143	ht	1-7176	86	90	63	22d	—	—	+4	21	0.75/1	4 25%
Not disgraced lately but he cannot afford to keep giving such a headstart to his rivals
2 (3)	Haliphon Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	141	p	758209	84	92	63	28d	—	—	+2	14.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Went close at Yarmouth in July but that's been his only bright run this year
4 (4)	Animato Chestnut J:David Nolan T:David Omeara	J:David Nolan T:David Omeara	138	—	4-8862	81	88	76	16d	—	—	+1	10.4	1.75/1	8 13%
Has good 1m4f handicap form but his apparent creditable third over 1m6f may prompt caution
7 (2)	Edge Of Darkness Chestnut J:Andrew Mullen T:Charlie Johnston	J:Andrew Mullen T:Charlie Johnston	132	—	111965	82	91	58	16d	—	—	+6	15.7	1.75/1	8 13%
Hat-trick over 1m4f this season; has not fared so well in three 1m6f races since
5 (6)	Wor Willie Bay J:Graham Lee T:Michael Dods	J:Graham Lee T:Michael Dods	138	—	3-4335	81	90	75	28d	—	—	+4	12.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
1m6f/1m4f winner; not quite at his best in 2023 but well treated if back to his 2022 level
6 (1)	Notimeforanother Bay J:Jack Garritty T:Jedd Okeeffe	J:Jack Garritty T:Jedd Okeeffe	135	—	-14137	78	91	70	16d	—	—	+10	18.5	2.25/1	10 10%
Return to this longer trip may well suit; all turf starts have been on softer than good
8 (9)	Award Dancer Bay J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	130	—	004034	73	91	83	14d	—	—	+3	9.8	2.75/1	12 8%
Close over 1m2f penultimate start, easily best effort this term; 1m6f is step in the dark
9 (7)	Gibside Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	127	—	137825	70	88	64	14d	—	—	+5	10.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Below form lately; 9l 2nd of 3 when he tried 2m, so stamina beyond 1m4f remains unproved
3 (8)	Haku Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Mark Loughnane	J:Hollie Doyle T:Mark Loughnane	140	—	1-3204	83	89	-	157d	—	—	+12	16.3	4.75/1	20 5%
The layoff, a rare turf race and today's trip all pose serious questions
