1 (4)	Poet Master Bay J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	136	—	1181-1	105	117	101	23d	—	—	-2	36.3	0.31/1	5/4 44%
Made it 4-5 with handicap win at Newmarket; well worth his place in this higher grade
2 (1)	Pogo Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Charles Hills	J:Richard Kingscote T:Charles Hills	136	—	3904-4	109	117	92	15d	—	—	+5	18.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
The oldest in the field; losing run mounting up but drops in grade and must be respected
5 (6)	Witch Hunter Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	136	p	3410-5	113	120	98	15d	—	—	+6	19.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Probably needed return; repeat of 2023 Hungerford win would make him a leading contender
6 (3)	Indian Run Brown J:Daniel Tudhope T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Eve Johnson Houghton	124	—	3118-	105	113	89	210d	—	—	+19	29.7	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Acomb winner last term before well held in soft-ground Dewhurst; still unexposed
3 (5)	Shartash Bay J:Joshua Bryan T:Archie Watson	J:Joshua Bryan T:Archie Watson	136	—	5406-1	111	119	100	21d	—	—	+17	28.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Convincing winner on stable debut at Thirsk and could take another step forward
4 (2)	Silver Sword Grey J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Dylan Cunha	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Dylan Cunha	136	—	17152-	103	110	95	210d	—	—	+19	27.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Could find 7f on the sharp side after seven months off and others have more obvious claims
