Impressed in his Irish point and again at Sedgefield; looks decidedly smart
9	Moon Chime Bay J:Brendan Powell T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	J:Brendan Powell T:David Killahena & Graeme McPherson	156	—	11	-	123	112	41d	—	—	+3	22.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
There's no knocking an unbeaten record after wins at Worcester and Stratford
6	Fire Flyer Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	156	—	17-	-	125	66	281d	—	—	-2	10.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Ascot winner who jarred himself next time; high class according to his trainer
8	Minella Rescue Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	J:Sean Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	156	—	F3-311	-	122	103	45d	—	—	-6	2.1	2.50/1	11 9%
2-2 for this yard after defying a penalty with a bit in hand at Warwick
11	Walks Like The Man Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Syd Hosie	J:Jonathan Burke T:Syd Hosie	156	—	B1-1	-	112	71	29d	—	—	+4	12.4	2.25/1	10 10%
£225,000 recruit; travelled much the best when a 2l winner on heavy at Newton Abbot
5	Doyen Quest Chestnut J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	156	—	U/1	-	115	54	35d	—	—	+3	11.3	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Probably didn't beat a great deal at Ffos Las but he was strong in the betting
7	Hazy Glen Grey J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	156	—	1	-	120	90	31d	—	—	+6	11.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Rare bumper winner for this yard when coming clear at Carlisle (heavy) one month ago
4	Diamond Dice Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	156	—	F2	-	117	103	26d	—	—	0	5.3	4.75/1	20 5%
It could turn out to be a decent bumper in which he went close at Hereford
12	Daytona Beach Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Rae Guest	J:Brian Hughes T:Rae Guest	149	—	50-1	-	114	105	137d	—	—	+8	10.9	6.00/1	25 4%
Quality Flat pedigree and justified favouritism by daylight at Worcester in July
10	Rickety Bridge Chestnut J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	156	—	1-2	-	113	80	38d	—	—	+9	13	6.75/1	28 4%
Would have won at Worcester in another stride or two; Cobden rides the yard's other one
1	Ballysax Hank Chestnut J:Cian Cullinan T:Miss Katy Brown	J:Cian Cullinan T:Miss Katy Brown	156	—	2	-	115	74	35d	—	—	+3	5.9	8.00/1	33 3%
Outran his 50-1 odds to chase home a fellow newcomer at Cork
2	Boy From Brazil Bay J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	156	—	5	-	81	62	41d	—	—	-2	0.8	12.25/1	50 2%
Tailed off at Stratford but did go off favourite and could well leave that run behind
