#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
5 (5)	Diego Velazquez Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	128	—	116-48	111	125	103	19d	—	—	-4	23.7	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Down in grade after three Group 1 runs; return to sound surface may suit; interesting
10 (8)	Space Legend Bay J:James Doyle T:William Haggas	J:James Doyle T:William Haggas	128	—	2-12	103	116	85	27d	—	—	+6	21.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Very promising; unlucky not to win at Goodwood; well worth his place in this higher grade
1 (4)	Agenda Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:A P O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:A P O'Brien	128	—	3-12	108	124	108	44d	—	—	+9	19.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Big improvement with each run; second in Chester Vase; still has best days ahead of him
2 (13)	Calandagan Bay J:Stephane Pasquier T:F-H Graffard	J:Stephane Pasquier T:F-H Graffard	128	—	31-211	110	121	101	29d	—	—	+6	18.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
French-trained; landed odds in Group 3 last time; this trip should suit; solid form claims
3 (1)	Chief Little Rock Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	128	—	122-31	109	119	93	26d	—	—	+11	16.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Comfortably made all in Curragh Group 3; another plausible candidate for Aidan O'Brien
13 (2)	Voyage Bay J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	128	—	1U	-	107	70	20d	—	—	+2	6.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
28-1 debut winner; unseated start in Derby then led field home riderless; hard to pin down
12 (7)	Theory Of Tides Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	11	95	108	93	25d	—	—	+23	30.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Up markedly in class after 2-2 in novices; stable has won this three times; not dismissed
7 (14)	Macduff Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	128	p	124-20	104	118	97	20d	—	—	+10	14.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Didn't give his running in the Derby but had shaped well in Classic Trial the time before
8 (10)	Mondo Man Chestnut J:William Buick T:P & J Brandt	J:William Buick T:P & J Brandt	128	—	3-1325	111	121	106	19d	—	—	+14	18.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Progressive; fast-finishing fifth in French Derby; this trip may suit; not ruled out
6 (9)	Harper's Ferry Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	128	t	2-21	88	104	95	67d	—	—	+11	13.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Bred to make impact at this level but he's bottom of the pack on ratings; now tongue tied
14 (11)	War Rooms Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Owen Burrows	J:Jim Crowley T:Owen Burrows	128	—	13-63	104	118	105	36d	—	—	+12	14.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Third in Dante; will need to raise his game again to make a serious impression
11 (6)	The Euphrates Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:A P O'Brien	J:Declan McDonogh T:A P O'Brien	128	v	31-24	102	114	98	41d	—	—	+11	13.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%
In frame in recognised Classic trials this spring; visor needs to spark some improvement
9 (12)	Royal Supremacy Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	128	—	141-32	100	114	94	33d	—	—	+11	13.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Second in Italian Derby; will need to improve a fair bit more to go one better
4 (3)	Defiance Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	128	—	16-27	102	114	92	41d	—	—	+11	13.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Plenty to find on form and he needs to put poor Lingfield Derby Trial run well behind him
