#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
4 (9)	Dark Side Thunder Bay J:Harrison Shaw T:Jessica Macey	J:Harrison Shaw T:Jessica Macey	133	p	-35142	78	94	80	28d	—	—	+5	22.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Consistent; second in big field here last time; should again be in the money
15 (4)	Trilby Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Sam England	J:Joe Fanning T:Sam England	127	—	510666	72	97	86	9d	—	—	-2	11.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Not disgraced in big fields of late; no surprise if he's on the premises once more
1 (8)	Rock Opera Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	135	—	550421	80	93	72	14d	—	—	+15	23.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Came late to win at Doncaster two weeks ago; leading contender once more
11 (1)	Danzan Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Tim Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Tim Easterby	129	p	-33005	74	95	83	28d	—	—	0	10.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Shaped well when fifth of 20 over C&D four weeks ago, and should be thereabouts again
6 (10)	Mattice Bay J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	132	p	-21404	77	94	81	15d	—	—	+4	13.3	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Fine fourths over C&D and at Newcastle; may well be the pick of Tim Easterby's four
18 (3)	Ray Vonn Bay J:Hector Crouch T:B F Brookhouse	J:Hector Crouch T:B F Brookhouse	127	ht	1489-1	72	93	85	64d	—	—	+10	17.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has found his niche as a sprinter; narrow winner at Nottingham; likely contender
3 (13)	Hierarchy Chestnut J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	134	tp	38-670	79	96	77	29d	—	—	+2	9.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Met trouble over inadequate 5f last time; not ruled out back up in trip
2 (18)	Elegant Erin Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	135	—	546321	80	93	74	15d	—	—	+18	24.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
First run after wind op when scoring at Newcastle; 3lb rise fine but longer trip a worry
20 (6)	Showtime Mahomes Bay J:Sam James T:Grant Tuer	J:Sam James T:Grant Tuer	124	—	556524	69	94	73	8d	—	—	+4	9.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Knocking at the door, fading only late on at Doncaster last Friday; another to consider
5 (5)	Maxi Boy Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:Fionn McSharry	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Fionn McSharry	133	—	2679-5	78	95	83	29d	—	—	+3	8.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Encouraging start for new yard at Chester and now returns to same trip as for sole win
10 (2)	Rebel Path Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:Stuart Williams	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Stuart Williams	130	—	307836	75	92	80	6d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+5	9.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Mark has fallen and the drop to 5f last time probably counted against him; not ruled out
17 (11)	Utilis Bay J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	127	—	20-020	72	91	69	15d	—	—	+3	6.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Now 0-15, and this is a rare go at 6f (unplaced last two attempts)
12 (7)	As If By Chance Bay J:Alex Jary(5) T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Alex Jary(5) T:Nigel Tinkler	129	—	00-495	74	95	69	38d	—	—	+3	7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Signs of a revival last time and back to last winning mark; could be dangerous
8 (17)	Treacherous Bay J:Ben Coen T:Ed de Giles	J:Ben Coen T:Ed de Giles	131	—	2-3442	76	92	82	17d	—	—	+7	11	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Has made frame on last nine outings and likely to be in the thick of things again
16 (20)	Spirit Of Applause Bay J:James Sullivan T:Tim Easterby	J:James Sullivan T:Tim Easterby	127	—	06-066	72	92	69	21d	—	—	+4	6.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Needs a revival but returning to 6f may help and his mark is plummeting
13 (12)	Oso Rapido Bay J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(7) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(7) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	128	—	-00705	73	88	61	25d	—	—	+4	6.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Mark is falling fast and showed some promise last time; could go well at long odds
14 (16)	Bella Kopella Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	128	t	138144	73	94	82	8d	—	—	+9	12.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Respectable efforts since Beverley win in May; again unlikely to be far away
19 (19)	Glendown Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	124	tp	10-094	69	96	70	8d	—	—	+2	5.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Shaped as if running back into form when fourth at Beverley; interesting
NR (15)	Kuwait City Bay J:Shane Gray T:John Butler	J:Shane Gray T:John Butler	132	—	9-1808	77	93	83	30d	—	—	—	6.8	—	—
Hasn't made frame since reappearance win and 6f seems to stretch his stamina
NR (14)	Sibyl Charm Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Iain Jardine	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Iain Jardine	130	—	114755	75	91	76	17d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
Last three runs have been below par and she often concedes ground at start; bit to prove
