Has a touch of class (fourth in the 2020 2,000 Guineas) but not seen in almost three years
2 (12)	Haunted Dream Grey J:Daniel Muscutt T:Ed Dunlop	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Ed Dunlop	138	—	023238	101	110	-	17d	—	—	+7	24.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Has a much better strike-rate on the AW (4-6) than turf (1-16) and needs considering
7 (11)	Valsad Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Harry & Roger Charlton	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Harry & Roger Charlton	128	—	3-6217	91	109	52	24d	—	—	+5	15.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Heavy ground against him latest; best judged on previous Tapeta win; should fare better
6 (5)	Omniscient Bay J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	128	—	1-7876	91	113	103	45d	—	—	+9	20.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
String of excuses for defeats this time round and should do better back on Tapeta
8 (4)	Onesmoothoperator Brown J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	127	—	349727	90	108	59	34d	—	—	+5	16.8	1.25/1	6 17%
Will always need some luck, which he didn't get behind Valsad last time; ought to go well
10 (2)	Capital Theory Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	125	—	527301	88	109	76	24d	—	—	+17	24.1	2.25/1	10 10%
Good record in AW handicaps; 4lb rise for recent turf win sees him up to career-high mark
5 (3)	Woottonsun Bay J:David Nolan T:Richard Fahey	J:David Nolan T:Richard Fahey	131	—	232120	94	110	-	53d	—	—	+17	23.3	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Said to have run flat last time; will need a career best on just his second AW start
3 (6)	Blanchland Bay J:Ben Curtis T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Ben Curtis T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	135	—	212-86	104	103	-	18d	—	—	+10	14.7	4.75/1	20 5%
Struggled badly in two runs this year and has plenty to prove
9 (9)	Southern Voyage Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:Richard Fahey	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Richard Fahey	125	—	8401-0	88	110	-	31d	—	—	+6	10.9	6.00/1	25 4%
Entitled to have needed his recent comeback from a year off for new yard; can do better
12 (10)	Wynter Wildes Bay J:Mikkel Mortensen(7) T:Charlie Fellowes	J:Mikkel Mortensen(7) T:Charlie Fellowes	123	p	171591	86	106	83	27d	—	—	+20	22.9	8.00/1	33 3%
3-3 under Mikkel Mortensen; this is tougher from 4lb wrong but shouldn't be underestimated
11 (8)	Sir Chauvelin Bay J:Sam James T:Jim Goldie	J:Sam James T:Jim Goldie	123	—	850914	86	110	101	24d	—	—	+13	17	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Three-time C&D winner who stays further; not as good as he was but he is about to turn 12
4 (7)	Stowell Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	135	—	639-97	98	100	-	45d	—	—	+10	12.7	8.00/1	33 3%
Finished last back from a break five weeks ago and it's hard to build up much enthusiasm
