10 (5)	Garifullina b J:Sean Kirrane T:John Davies	J:Sean Kirrane T:John Davies	127	—	37-051	52	73	65	18d	—	—	-13	6.2	7/2 22%
Overcame traffic latest; low mileage compared to most of these and a 3lb rise looks fair
5 (3)	Without Flaw b J:Joanna Mason T:Tina Jackson	J:Joanna Mason T:Tina Jackson	131	—	423644	61	76	55	11d	—	—	-6	9.1	5/1 17%
Won't mind coming back down from 7f; could probably do with some rain
4 (2)	So Grateful b J:Lewis Chalkley(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Lewis Chalkley(7) T:Michael & David Easterby	134	—	8-3574	59	71	54	24d	—	—	-7	5.9	13/2 13%
Goes well here and has slid to a dangerous mark; done all his winning in high summer too
6 (9)	One Of Our Own b J:Paddy Mathers T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Paddy Mathers T:Rebecca Menzies	130	p	48-752	55	74	60	13d	—	—	-7	4.6	15/2 12%
Ran her best race of the season, back in the cheekpieces, latest; goes on the shortlist
2 (11)	Hoof It Hoof It b J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	135	t	80-003	60	71	48	24d	—	—	-6	5.8	15/2 12%
Now 2lb below her last winning mark and worth considering having offered more last time
12 (15)	Dandy Spirit b J:Jason Hart T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Jason Hart T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	127	b	984493	52	72	60	23d	—	—	-2	5.6	12/1 8%
Arrives in form having made a lot of the running off this mark (AW) latest; claims on that
11 (13)	Motawaazy b J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	127	p	5-7055	52	68	47	18d	—	—	-4	2.1	16/1 6%
Rather struggled in four runs back following wind surgery; hard to enthuse about
1 (4)	Athollblair Boy ch J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	135	—	168649	60	71	59	16d	—	—	-2	4.1	16/1 6%
4lb lower than on the AW now and remains consistent despite his years; each-way claims
3 (14)	Phoenix Star b J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Jessica Macey	J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Jessica Macey	134	p	332608	59	75	58	10d	—	—	+1	5.7	20/1 5%
Been quieter of late following a productive spell earlier in the year; others stronger
14 (6)	Birdie Bowers b J:Rowan Scott T:David Thompson	J:Rowan Scott T:David Thompson	121	—	780-59	46	69	59	18d	—	—	-3	1	22/1 4%
Wins came over 5f and does seem happiest over that trip now; only holds outside claims
7 (7)	Back Tomorrow b J:Ryan Sexton T:Ewan Whillans	J:Ryan Sexton T:Ewan Whillans	130	—	278896	55	71	53	13d	—	—	-1	2.2	25/1 4%
Hasn't been at her best in three runs this summer, latterly behind One Of Our Own at Ayr
13 (10)	Irish Dancer ch J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	123	—	-07270	48	71	65	27d	—	—	0	3.3	33/1 3%
No surprise to see the headgear experiment quickly dropped, but has something to prove now
8 (12)	Gunnerside gr J:Harrison Shaw T:Grant Tuer	J:Harrison Shaw T:Grant Tuer	130	—	5-8710	55	71	49	18d	—	—	-1	2	33/1 3%
Lacks consistency now, so no surprise to see him fail to back up his June win on latest
15 (8)	Miss Rainbow b J:Kieran O'Neill T:Tracy Waggott	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Tracy Waggott	120	—	-53960	50	72	27	35d	—	—	-1	1.6	40/1 2%
Maiden who's gone the wrong way this season; would be a surprise winner
NR (1)	Urban Dandy ch J:Dougie Costello T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	J:Dougie Costello T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	129	—	464226	54	74	39	18d	—	—	—	7	—
Wins have come on Tapeta and has achieved little in seven runs on turf; outsider
