6 (4)	Jubilee Walk Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:James Ferguson	J:Oisin Murphy T:James Ferguson	132	—	541-11	97	115	102	35d	—	—	+2	15.8	5/1 17%
Won last three; May's York success was striking; up 7lb but doubt he's reached his ceiling
13 (19)	Shagraan Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane T:Michael Appleby	J:Billy Loughnane T:Michael Appleby	129	—	265-23	94	112	103	48d	—	—	0	15.4	13/2 13%
Two promising handicap runs for new yard; the return to 5f looks a good move; e-w shout
21 (2)	Dorney Lake Bay J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	125	t	5-11	90	113	103	22d	—	—	+3	12.9	8/1 11%
2-2 since a wind op (both 6f); has the speed for 5f and brings untapped potential
15 (9)	Mukaafah Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Jim Crowley T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	127	h	41-61	92	116	87	34d	—	—	+4	12.9	10/1 9%
Both defeats excusable and looked a class act in his two wins; 5f could suit even better
20 (26)	Dyrholaey Bay J:James Doyle T:Archie Watson	J:James Doyle T:Archie Watson	125	—	111	90	117	-	66d	—	—	+27	33.9	11/1 8%
3-3 on AW & showed fine attitude at Newcastle in April; turf debut; yard won this in 2023
27 (14)	Vantheman Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	123	—	150-12	88	115	102	35d	—	—	+4	11.7	11/1 8%
Thrashed the other high-drawn runners when second to Jubilee Walk at York; 5lb better off
3 (16)	Woodhay Wonder Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Ward	J:Tom Marquand T:Tom Ward	133	—	311-11	98	112	94	33d	—	—	+7	13.9	12/1 8%
5-6 on turf; two game efforts at Newmarket this year; drops to 5f but not short of speed
2 (27)	Sommelier Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Marco Botti	J:Ryan Moore T:Marco Botti	134	p	11-292	99	109	91	36d	—	—	+8	14	12/1 8%
Two impressive AW wins in November; chased home Big Evs at York; this stiffer 5f can suit
14 (12)	Pilgrim Grey J:Joe Fanning T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Joe Fanning T:David & Nicola Barron	127	—	21-031	92	115	95	20d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+7	11.7	22/1 4%
Bolted up at Musselburgh but 4lb worse off with Jubilee Walk who beat him easily at York
25 (20)	Billy Webster Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	124	p	1-1557	89	111	89	20d	—	—	+14	18	22/1 4%
Has had excuses since a couple of impressive AW wins over the winter; not fully exposed
12 (17)	Blue Storm Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Gemma Tutty	J:Hollie Doyle T:Gemma Tutty	129	—	431-41	94	112	103	20d	—	—	+8	12.1	25/1 4%
Improving sprinter but this is a different test to Epsom; unraced on faster than good
17 (22)	Two Tribes Chestnut J:Jason Hart T:Richard Spencer	J:Jason Hart T:Richard Spencer	126	b	2122-2	91	113	93	48d	—	—	+11	16.9	20/1 5%
Good 2nd to a smart rival on Newmarket return (6f, good); return to stiff 5f is no issue
11 (29)	Tazara Bay J:Maxime Guyon T:C Ferland	J:Maxime Guyon T:C Ferland	129	h	322-12	94	102	80	50d	—	—	+9	11.9	28/1 3%
Good 2nd in AW Listed race latest; new trip and ground today; this mark is no gift either
22 (31)	Hedge Fund Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	J:Lewis Edmunds T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	125	—	24-230	90	110	103	35d	—	—	+8	10.8	33/1 3%
Two good runs to kick off 3yo campaign but flopped at York & others have far more upside
18 (10)	Mon Na Slieve Chestnut J:Jamie Spencer T:Kevin Ryan	J:Jamie Spencer T:Kevin Ryan	126	—	1854-5	91	105	100	36d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+8	11	33/1 3%
Highly tried after his debut win at York and has come up short; yard also runs Vantheman
10 (6)	Matters Most Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	130	—	1269-2	95	112	99	18d	—	—	+14	17	40/1 2%
Promising return at Windsor 18 days ago; quick enough for 5f and he's still progressing
16 (15)	Scorchio Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Jack W Davison	J:Ronan Whelan T:Jack W Davison	126	—	1314-1	91	108	76	31d	—	—	+18	21	50/1 2%
Huge improver in her last five starts; may do better but this race will demand it
4 (25)	Got To Love A Grey Grey J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	132	—	5-1674	97	111	72	28d	—	—	+10	12.3	50/1 2%
Two Listed wins (good to firm and heavy) to her name; others look better handicapped
1 (8)	Toca Madera Bay J:Joe Leavy(5) T:Brian Meehan	J:Joe Leavy(5) T:Brian Meehan	135	—	31033-	100	100	81	323d	—	—	+19	22	50/1 2%
Ended 2yo season with two 3rds in Group 2 events; tough task on return from 323 days off
9 (30)	Brave Empire Grey J:Daniel Tudhope T:Roger Varian	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Roger Varian	130	—	11-916	95	109	82	112d	—	—	+10	11.8	50/1 2%
Three 6f wins to his name but beaten in two of his three handicaps and more to prove at 5f
8 (18)	Dark Vintage Grey Roan J:Billy Garritty T:Richard Fahey	J:Billy Garritty T:Richard Fahey	130	v	122-63	95	108	94	36d	—	—	+9	12	66/1 1%
Fair third in Listed event at York latest; stiffer 5f and faster ground likely to suit
19 (11)	Airman Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	125	—	1-17	90	108	90	27d	—	—	+16	17.5	50/1 2%
Won first two starts before coming up short in a Group 2; July Cup entrant; fast ground ?
7 (3)	Majestic Beauty Grey J:David Egan T:Adrian Murray	J:David Egan T:Adrian Murray	131	—	256-42	96	110	77	16d	—	—	+10	11.9	66/1 1%
Went clear with Kendall Roy when second at the Curragh 16 days ago; this is tougher up 4lb
23 (1)	No Half Measures Bay J:George Rooke T:Richard Hughes	J:George Rooke T:Richard Hughes	125	—	21115	90	112	101	6d	—	—	+25	26.5	100/1 1%
Improving; has to prove herself on fast ground; can win more races but maybe not this one
24 (21)	Thunder Blue Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	125	t	892-74	90	106	99	133d	—	—	+8	10.6	66/1 1%

6f win on soft last year; unplaced in two handicaps this year and career best is required
28 (24)	Markakol Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	123	h	18562-	88	104	87	252d	—	—	+15	16.9	80/1 1%

5 (7)	Symbology Grey J:Richard Kingscote T:Clive Cox	J:Richard Kingscote T:Clive Cox	132	—	378-06	97	104	54	6d	—	—	+11	12	100/1 1%
