Convincing winner at Ffos Las on last month's stable debut and has the inside draw here

Generally disappointing this season but ran quite well in Ayr Bronze Cup last month
8 (8)	Sir Maxi Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Richard Fahey	J:Billy Garritty T:Richard Fahey	130	—	136204	67	85	76	17d	—	—	-4	11.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
C&D winner this summer; returns after good run at Ayr last month; likely contender
6 (10)	Thornaby Pearl Bay J:Mia Nicholls(7) T:Adrian Nicholls	J:Mia Nicholls(7) T:Adrian Nicholls	131	p	159445	68	84	79	14d	—	—	-3	7.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Easy winner on soft ground in July; outside draw and drying ground both negatives here

Not at best lately but was placed off 3lb higher over C&D in the summer; can't rule out
4 (2)	The Dunkirk Lads Bay J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	132	—	487254	69	85	77	11d	—	—	+1	9.8	2.50/1	11 9%
Fourth over C&D recently; player if this race is run to suit usual patient tactics
3 (4)	Catch Cunningham Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	133	p	870406	70	85	64	17d	—	—	-1	7.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Not at best this season; closely matched with Ghathanfar on recent Ayr form
5 (3)	Happier Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	132	—	122726	70	83	75	34d	—	—	+7	12.6	3.25/1	14 7%
No significant progress since maiden win in May but a stiff 6f seems to suit her well
9 (5)	Trilby Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Sam England	J:Joe Fanning T:Sam England	129	—	2-4646	67	78	48	11d	—	—	+3	9.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Not beaten far on either stable start; market support will bring him into the equation
7 (9)	Jill Rose Chestnut J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Simon Whitaker	J:Andrew Breslin(3) T:Simon Whitaker	131	—	60-730	68	83	78	33d	—	—	+3	5.1	12.25/1	50 2%
Ran poorly on AW last month and the ground may not be soft enough for her here
