Won back-to-back on AW (Southwell & Newcastle) earlier in the year; stiff enough mark?
4 (14)	Tremblant Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Amy Murphy	J:Tom Marquand T:Amy Murphy	135	tp	-75757	75	85	77	20d	—	—	-4	10.3	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Ran well on first start since wind surgery (5f); hung right at Newmarket (6f) subsequently

5lb higher than for winning Doncaster (5f) seasonal reappearance; others make more appeal.

Yet to make the frame on turf (0-7); eased in grade (& 2lb) since latest York run (7f).
12 (3)	Kodi Red b/br J:Jim Crowley T:Darryll Holland	J:Jim Crowley T:Darryll Holland	130	—	4600-0	70	89	75	28d	—	—	+1	6.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
No win since 2yo days with A Murray; difficult to draw confidence from last three starts.
14 (16)	The Cruising Lord Bay J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	128	—	60379-	68	88	76	241d	—	—	+2	7.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Gradually lost way after winning at Newbury (6f) last summer; first start for this yard.
NR (6)	Trilby Bay J:TBC T:Sam England	J: T:Sam England	134	—	-15106	74	91	79	13d	—	—	—	13	—	—
C&D winner (from 5lb lower mark) in April; latest York effort was positive; possibilities.
NR (5)	Cold Stare Bay J:TBC T:David O'Meara	J: T:David O'Meara	134	tp	776172	74	90	81	9d	—	—	—	16	—	—
Haydock regular; 2lb 'well-in' after going close at Hamilton recently; soft ground suits.
NR (10)	Ray Vonn Bay J:TBC T:B F Brookhouse	J: T:B F Brookhouse	132	ht	1489-1	72	87	80	28d	—	—	—	15.5	—	—
Resumed winning ways at Nottingham (6f, good); subsequent 3lb rise looks fair; thereabouts
NR (13)	Harry's Halo Chestnut J:TBC T:Kevin Frost	J: T:Kevin Frost	131	ht	-52354	71	89	77	7d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
Acts on heavy ground; has form lines with Trilby & Ray Vonn; one to seriously consider.
NR (8)	Master Dandy Chestnut J:TBC T:James Fanshawe	J: T:James Fanshawe	131	—	31-295	71	88	25	16d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—
Modest since introduced to handicapping; still low mileage and drop back to 6f is helpful.
NR (1)	Snuggle Chestnut J:TBC T:Luke Dace	J: T:Luke Dace	128	—	8-7012	68	87	69	32d	—	—	—	4.5	—	—
