2 (6)	Never So Brave Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Sir Michael Stoute	J:Saffie Osborne T:Sir Michael Stoute	137	—	22-116	101	105	91	43d	—	—	-9	22.8	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Won here in May and wasn't disgraced when highly tried in the Group 3 Jersey
1 (1)	Percy's Lad Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	J:Billy Loughnane T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	140	—	3-2100	98	106	88	22d	—	—	-1	20.3	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Front-runner well drawn to attack in stall 1 but he is likely to get pestered
4 (7)	Telemark Chestnut J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Simon & Ed Crisford	133	t	15-810	97	108	69	22d	—	—	+5	14.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Looked one to follow at Thirsk and can put a line through his York run three weeks ago
7 (12)	Yanifer Bay J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Harriet Bethell	J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Harriet Bethell	131	—	0-3752	89	106	96	23d	—	—	+4	12.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Excellent latest 2nd at York but stall 12 is a blow for one who likes to be up there
12 (8)	Topanga Bay J:Jason Watson T:Andrew Balding	J:Jason Watson T:Andrew Balding	122	p	1-5061	86	108	84	30d	—	—	+12	17.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Interesting as a lightly raced 3yo filly coming here on the back of a career best
11 (10)	Paws For Thought Bay J:Franny Norton T:Donald McCain	J:Franny Norton T:Donald McCain	126	p	887861	84	106	84	8d	—	—	+14	20.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Winning for a 4th time here but his first win anywhere over 5f when coming clear last week
6 (2)	Spirit Genie Bay J:George Wood T:Jennie Candlish	J:George Wood T:Jennie Candlish	132	tp	-60110	90	103	80	22d	—	—	+19	23.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Only 4lb higher than for his C&D win in May and the Bunbury Cup didn't really go to plan
10 (3)	Stone Soldier Chestnut J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	129	p	266-04	87	105	90	50d	—	—	+6	10.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Front-running fourth of 17 at York and he's well drawn to employ similar tactics here
9 (11)	Boardman Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	129	—	-68566	87	110	92	15d	—	—	+6	10.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Loves it here but the losing run is mounting up and stall 11 asks questions of him
8 (5)	Way To Dubai Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:Charlie Fellowes	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Charlie Fellowes	131	p	-05826	89	103	75	36d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+10	14.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Looked unlucky over C&D two runs back and 6f was probably too sharp on latest visit
3 (9)	Documenting Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	136	—	32-613	94	104	62	86d	—	—	+9	11.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Into the veteran stage but arrives in good form, latterly finishing third around here
NR (4)	Street Kid Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:NON-RUNNER T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	132	p	6-1200	90	104	89	23d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Often takes a keen hold and races prominently; faces competition up front
