15	My Girl Katie Bay J:Harry Reed T:Grace Harris	J:Harry Reed T:Grace Harris	156	p	498866	89	100	92	24d	—	—	+3	12.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Took a step back in the right direction latest but others push stronger claims.

Weakened to be 21l third at Wetherby (3m, soft); early days but does have a bit to prove.
1	Rebel Intentions Bay J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Emma Lavelle	J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Emma Lavelle	167	t	2136P5	100	109	103	26d	—	—	+11	15.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Below par since Ascot third but could be revived down in grade.

Bit to prove after falling in a chase and running no sort of race over hurdles last time.
13	Captain Marco Grey J:Sean Houlihan T:Mitchell Hunt	J:Sean Houlihan T:Mitchell Hunt	158	—	8587	91	98	75	39d	—	—	+8	11	6.25/1	25/1 4%

2	Tough Approach Bay J:David Noonan T:David Pipe	J:David Noonan T:David Pipe	167	tp	-36P2P	100	95	50	50d	—	—	+12	15.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
