More on his plate upped in class but is well drawn and may be capable of better still
4 (1)	Vafortino Bay J:Franny Norton T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Franny Norton T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	133	—	11-266	106	120	105	21d	—	—	+2	19	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Step back up to 7f on easier ground looks in his favour; is on the shortlist from stall 1
5 (6)	Witch Hunter Bay J:Alec Voikhansky T:Richard Hannon	J:Alec Voikhansky T:Richard Hannon	133	—	533943	109	123	96	14d	—	—	+10	22.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Patchy this season but is capable if they go hard in front and set it up for the closers

Offered more at Royal Ascot; remains to be seen whether this sort of course is for him
1 (3)	Breege Bay J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	133	b	42-317	102	113	98	24d	—	—	+5	16.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Consistent filly; should give her running again dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers
6 (5)	Evade Bay J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	128	—	429-17	108	116	100	22d	—	—	+8	17	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Group 1 company beyond him at Royal Ascot; should do better tonight under a small penalty
NR (8)	Pogo b/br J:William Cox T:Charles Hills	J:William Cox T:Charles Hills	133	—	4-4234	109	120	104	14d	—	—	—	14.8	—	—
Hasn't won in nearly two years and the outside stall isn't ideal for one happiest up front
NR (7)	Streets Of Gold Bay J:Georgia Dobie T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Georgia Dobie T:Eve Johnson Houghton	133	—	05-960	102	116	87	24d	—	—	—	13	—	—
Dual sales race winner as a 2yo who's proved tough to place since; be a surprise winner
