3lb higher tonight, so will need to find more if he's to gain that breakthrough win
1 (8)	Born Ruler b J:Fred Daly(7) T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	J:Fred Daly(7) T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	149	p	-22241	87	87	77	12d	—	—	+5	32.7	7/2 22%
3lb well-in under the penalty; having 7lb taken off won't hurt; just needs to settle early
5 (2)	Crimson Road b J:Billy Loughnane T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Billy Loughnane T:Simon & Ed Crisford	135	—	43-313	82	82	73	35d	—	—	-5	13.4	9/2 18%
Looked to find this mark beyond him last time but remains lightly raced for a yard in form
4 (3)	Siempre Arturo b J:Jim Crowley T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	J:Jim Crowley T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	142	—	210511	80	81	49	15d	—	—	+19	29.4	9/1 10%
Given a canny ride in a bunch finish last time; needs to improve to defy a 3lb rise
8 (11)	Rocket Warrior ch J:Harry Davies T:Marco Botti	J:Harry Davies T:Marco Botti	132	—	3-1152	79	80	23	28d	—	—	+4	11.3	16/1 6%
Allowed to dictate last time (Tatateo behind) and needs to find a bit more from somewhere
2 (4)	First Officer b J:Sorin Moldoveanu(7) T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Sorin Moldoveanu(7) T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	142	—	12-145	80	84	64	47d	—	—	+3	9.2	12/1 8%
Three solid efforts for Sorin Moldoveanu this year; no obvious reason he won't go well
3 (5)	Maso Bastie b J:Kieran Shoemark T:Michael Bell	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Michael Bell	142	p	06-640	80	86	72	48d	—	—	+3	9.2	20/1 5%
Very hit and miss since handicapping and is tried in another new form of headgear
7 (9)	Tatateo b J:Ray Dawson T:James Ferguson	J:Ray Dawson T:James Ferguson	133	—	9-2714	80	81	77	28d	—	—	+3	9.1	22/1 4%
Hard to judge him on his handicap debut and no surprise at all were he up to winning this
11 (1)	Grigio gr J:Pat Cosgrave T:Simon Pearce	J:Pat Cosgrave T:Simon Pearce	127	b	317375	65	82	60	27d	—	—	+5	8	66/1 1%
Runs this year have come over 1m3f-1m6f and he's achieved little in four starts on turf
NR (6)	Jack Sparowe b J:TBC T:John Butler	J: T:John Butler	133	h	35-589	71	81	62	23d	—	—	—	5.3	—
Remains 3lb above his last winning mark and hasn't been at his best this season
NR (10)	Big Zou br J:Jack Mitchell T:Peter Chapple-Hyam	J:Jack Mitchell T:Peter Chapple-Hyam	131	—	43-16	78	76	25	28d	—	—	—	7	—
Pulled hard (well-beaten last) on recent C&D return from break; too soon to write him off
