5 (1)	Klondike Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:William Haggas	J:Richard Kingscote T:William Haggas	126	t	247-41	110	127	101	28d	—	—	0	21.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
4yo with just six races; made all in 1m6f Listed race here, holding Salt Bay by short head
1 (5)	Al Qareem Bay J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	126	—	12-245	112	129	94	41d	—	—	+2	21.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Peak efforts at about 1m4f but he's won over 1m7f; a leading contender if he's at his best
6 (3)	Salt Bay Chestnut J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	126	—	27-362	109	126	87	28d	—	—	+3	19.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Stayed on well when back-to-form, short-head second to Klondike in Listed race here (1m6f)
2 (8)	Alsakib Grey J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	126	—	17-634	105	124	114	25d	—	—	+5	17.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Worked his way into a creditable fourth of 16 in 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot; bit to find
4 (4)	Deauville Legend Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Ferguson	J:Daniel Muscutt T:James Ferguson	126	—	94-443	107	128	106	14d	—	—	+7	17.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
2024 form does not look good enough, flattering to deceive 2f out in Listed race latest
3 (2)	Chesspiece Bay J:Harry Davies T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Harry Davies T:Simon & Ed Crisford	126	—	262-56	108	129	77	51d	—	—	+8	16.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Not disgraced on reappearance but ran a shocker in another Group 3 next time
7 (7)	Tashkhan Bay J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	126	—	0133-0	111	128	117	14d	—	—	+10	17.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Perhaps AW provides an excuse for Northumberland Plate reappearance; best in the mud
8 (6)	Wise Eagle Chestnut J:Daniel Tudhope T:Adam Nicol	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Adam Nicol	126	p	120-87	103	112	68	35d	—	—	+12	13.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Missed the second half of 2023; two handicaps this year don't suggest he's about to strike
