10 (1)	Dancing In Paris Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Ian Williams	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Ian Williams	115	—	082121	85	114	109	7d	—	—	+15	34.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Never better than 1m6f Ascot win last week; 2m now seems plausible and he's one to note

Asserted in grand style at Salisbury (1m6f, soft); excellent third at Royal Ascot (2m4f)
2 (4)	Naqeeb Bay J:Jim Crowley T:William Haggas	J:Jim Crowley T:William Haggas	133	t	13-360	103	113	96	32d	—	—	+1	18.3	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Superb pedigree but he's been threatening to go the wrong way this season; no luck latest

Missed most of 2023 and has not been near his peak this season; needs to find extra
9 (10)	Shagpyle Brown J:Tyler Heard(3) T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	J:Tyler Heard(3) T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	116	—	42-481	86	116	98	27d	—	—	+2	11.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Evens, won six-runner handicap at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago by a neck
7 (5)	Temporize Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Syd Hosie	J:Connor Beasley T:Syd Hosie	119	—	103-25	89	116	100	32d	—	—	+5	11.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Second at Goodwood and fifth at Royal Ascot keep him in each-way calculations
1 (6)	Prydwen Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	138	—	-52119	108	106	-	30d	—	—	+23	29.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Surged to new heights on AW before tailed off at 100-1 in the 2m4f Gold Cup at Royal Ascot
3 (9)	Sleeping Lion Chestnut J:Callum Rodriguez T:Harry Charlton	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Harry Charlton	127	—	220-32	97	116	74	105d	—	—	+9	12.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Sandown runs last summer give him a chance; he's steered clear of ground softer than good
4 (2)	Ranch Hand Bay J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Andrew Balding	J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Andrew Balding	127	—	4/43/7	97	110	78	56d	—	—	+10	12.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Off 556 days prior to his seventh of eight at Goodwood this May; 11lb below his peak mark
6 (8)	Master Milliner Chestnut J:Charles Bishop T:Emma Lavelle	J:Charles Bishop T:Emma Lavelle	123	—	1199/0	93	101	63	32d	—	—	+9	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
