May have needed his recent reappearance here but he does not look the percentage call
6 (1)	Too Friendly Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:James Owen	J:Callum Shepherd T:James Owen	129	h	608/10	89	100	66	9d	—	—	-4	15.5	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Not discredited when tenth in Chester Cup nine days ago; hood replaces cheekpieces
2 (5)	Scottish Anthem Grey J:Harry Davies T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Harry Davies T:Simon & Ed Crisford	135	v	72-634	95	104	78	86d	—	—	-1	16.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Made late headway over 1m4f/1m6f at Meydan, before a lesser show with a visor last time
7 (4)	Hope You Can Run Chestnut J:William Buick T:Charlie Johnston	J:William Buick T:Charlie Johnston	123	p	321-87	83	94	57	15d	—	—	-3	12.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Ended last season in July but on a high note; well beaten over 1m4f both starts this term
9 (7)	Tradesman Bay J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	J:Hayley Turner T:David Simcock	117	b	112-22	77	105	56	52d	—	—	0	9.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Not proven on turf but he is a major player on the more recent AW efforts
3 (8)	Island Brave Bay J:Aidan Keeley(3) T:Heather Main	J:Aidan Keeley(3) T:Heather Main	133	—	25/2-0	93	103	59	43d	—	—	+12	15.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Normally reliable, fully effective on AW, but no show when 40-1 in AW race six weeks ago
NR (6)	Adjuvant Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	133	—	5200-7	93	91	90	14d	—	—	—	10.8	—	—
Won this race last year; 2023 Flat campaign petered out and below form on reappearance
NR (3)	Onesmoothoperator Brown J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	133	—	-64282	93	105	-	21d	—	—	—	18.3	—	—
Chance on AW form but 2023 turf campaign is less persuasive and he has modest strike-rate
NR (9)	Zimmerman Chestnut J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	J:Duran Fentiman T:Tim Easterby	119	—	4133-4	79	102	97	22d	—	—	—	7.3	—	—
Reliable; relatively exposed and might be ideally suited by softer than good
