Not at best last time but he'd been threatening on Polytrack beforehand; contender
4 (4)	Briery Boy Bay J:Neil Callan T:Patrick Owens	J:Neil Callan T:Patrick Owens	131	b	977	60	66	18	22d	—	—	-17	10.9	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Opening mark doesn't look generous but blinkers/new trip possible sources of improvement
5 (7)	Nouveaux Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Rae Guest	J:Callum Shepherd T:Rae Guest	127	—	73843	56	72	66	14d	—	—	-8	11.1	1.00/1	4/1 20%
6f looked to stretch her here two weeks ago but it was still a promising run; shortlisted
6 (8)	Forgotten Treasure Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:William Knight	J:Marco Ghiani T:William Knight	125	h	808	54	68	-	24d	—	—	-5	3.1	2.25/1	10 10%
Whiff of ability (and temperament) in three 6f runs; 5f may suit better now handicapping
3 (6)	Raft Up Bay J:George Wood T:Harry Eustace	J:George Wood T:Harry Eustace	134	—	700820	63	72	41	16d	—	—	+1	8.9	2.25/1	10 10%
Ran well at Brighton in August but that run sandwiched by two lesser AW efforts
2 (2)	Haumea Brown J:Morgan Cole(5) T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	J:Morgan Cole(5) T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	135	—	5760	64	64	-	19d	—	—	-2	5.7	2.50/1	11 9%
Easy to back and ran poorly on last month's nursery debut; something to prove for now
8 (1)	Easel Brown J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Jonathan Portman	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Jonathan Portman	120	—	579406	49	63	51	14d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.75/1	16 6%
Unplaced in all six starts; drop to 5f needs to spark improvement
7 (9)	Eyes Closed Bay J:Darragh Keenan T:George Boughey	J:Darragh Keenan T:George Boughey	123	tp	87458	52	62	51	4d	—	—	-3	1.7	5.25/1	22 5%
Didn't see out 7f when sent off favourite on Tuesday; headgear added now back to 5f
