7.5f course winner (from a 2lb lower mark) last month; wide draw in stall 10 isn't ideal.
11 (1)	Master Franca Bay J:Jason Watson T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jason Watson T:Hugo Palmer	132	b	3-4566	68	74	53	28d	—	—	-2	9.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last Oct; no signs of progress yet this year; easing mark

No win since Sept 2021; the reasons to be positive are 7f, easing mark, suitable ground.
4 (3)	Chalk Mountain Grey J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	J:Rob Hornby T:Stuart Kittow	141	t	62142-	69	76	55	240d	—	—	+8	19.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%

Little impact, falling 12lb in the weights, in better-grade handicaps for Mark Loughnane.
9 (6)	Danzart Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Stella Barclay	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Stella Barclay	135	h	762247	63	77	61	18d	—	—	+1	9.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Runner-up on two occasions earlier this year; probably requires a fraction more to score.
2 (12)	Ugo Gregory Grey J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	144	tp	2064-0	72	79	72	34d	—	—	0	7.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Beverley specialist; could strip fitter for recent comeback run; wide draw unhelpful.
8 (13)	Rosenpur Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Jennie Candlish	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Jennie Candlish	136	h	2-6077	64	72	48	28d	—	—	+4	8.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
