Another solid effort from a wide stall on Polytrack latest; is one of the likelier winners
3 (5)	The Liegeman Bay J:Joshua Bryan T:Archie Watson	J:Joshua Bryan T:Archie Watson	135	—	66431	70	77	68	21d	—	—	+4	22.3	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Useful family tends to improve with age; high on the shortlist upped 7lb for 5f win
4 (8)	Graceful Mary Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	135	—	31	70	79	52	43d	—	—	+7	21.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
This is a different test from an ordinary draw down from 6f, but she's open to improvement
1 (7)	Miss Anya Bay J:Ethan Jones(7) T:Richard Hughes	J:Ethan Jones(7) T:Richard Hughes	137	p	522442	72	78	61	63d	—	—	+4	16.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Might have fared better than stall 7 in first-time headgear but should go well again
7 (3)	It's Showtime Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:Conrad Allen	J:Marco Ghiani T:Conrad Allen	130	—	443	65	73	64	15d	—	—	0	9.3	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Rare 2yo runner for her yard and hasn't looked the easiest thus far; drops in trip today
10 (2)	Relentless Warrior Chestnut J:William Carver(3) T:Andrew Balding	J:William Carver(3) T:Andrew Balding	128	t	026406	63	73	60	21d	—	—	-2	6.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
9lb better off with winner The Liegeman; perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help
5 (4)	Vice Captain Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	134	—	434314	69	74	47	94d	—	—	+9	15.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
On the go early and is fully exposed now (5f-1m); needs more back from three months off
9 (9)	Free As A Bird Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	128	—	7435	63	78	72	20d	—	—	+2	6.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
The drop from 6f may help but she'll need a good bit of improvement from a wide stall
11 (1)	Interestnpenalties Bay J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	J:William Carson T:Tony Carroll	127	—	46740	62	74	56	81d	—	—	+1	3.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Picked up from Ireland in October following five ordinary efforts; market useful
8 (10)	Wrestling Revenue Bay J:William Cox T:Tony Carroll	J:William Cox T:Tony Carroll	130	—	04507	65	78	-	83d	—	—	+2	4.2	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Picked up for 3,000gns from Ireland; best to look elsewhere unless there's strong support
NR (11)	Hot Front Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:David Evans	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:David Evans	136	—	203154	71	75	63	31d	—	—	—	11.2	—	—
Run to a similar level in nurseries since 5f win; need more if she's to overcome stall 11
