#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
9 (5)	Kilt Bay J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	128	—	3-16	87	101	86	49d	—	—	-9	20.2	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Considerable promise in Newmarket novices and this 3yo has potential off his opening mark
8 (7)	Theme Park Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	130	—	-05051	82	102	80	14d	—	—	+5	23.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won big-field handicap off career-low mark at York a fortnight ago; a 4lb rise isn't harsh
10 (9)	Old Cock Bay J:P J McDonald T:Edward Bethell	J:P J McDonald T:Edward Bethell	124	t	4119	83	100	55	40d	—	—	+12	23.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Flopped at Pontefract on July 1 but 2-3 previously and retains potential; not ruled out
3 (6)	Diamondonthehill Bay J:David Probert T:Michael Dods	J:David Probert T:Michael Dods	138	—	-71372	90	98	85	7d	—	—	+14	21.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Went close at Thirsk last Saturday and runner-up in this last year; could be thereabouts
6 (1)	Spectacular Style Chestnut J:Cameron Noble T:Roger Varian	J:Cameron Noble T:Roger Varian	130	h	22214-	82	100	82	317d	—	—	+14	22.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Returns from absence and there's a rethink on trip, but this Frankel 4yo is not discounted
5 (11)	Helm Rock Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	J:Jim Crowley T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	138	t	-80758	90	97	78	9d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+5	12.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Edging down the weights; hasn't run badly the last twice but needs something extra here
7 (10)	Cruyff Turn Chestnut J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	130	—	083396	82	102	84	7d	—	—	+5	12.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Posted two good thirds in June and now 4lb lower, but two lesser runs have followed
2 (3)	Sterling Knight Bay J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:Ed Dunlop	J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:Ed Dunlop	141	p	061017	93	98	86	14d	—	—	+16	22.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won at Newmarket on first crack at 1m; excuse last time; 2-3 here and he's one to consider
4 (2)	Bear Force One Bay J:Clifford Lee T:Michael Dods	J:Clifford Lee T:Michael Dods	138	—	060-00	90	100	74	29d	—	—	+7	11.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Step back in right direction at York last time but others have more to recommend them
NR (12)	Twirling Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	142	t	-73103	94	97	85	30d	—	—	—	19.9	—	—
Lightly raced 4yo who was very close third at Newmarket last time; could be in the mix
NR (4)	Golspie Bay J:Liam Keniry T:Patrick Morris	J:Liam Keniry T:Patrick Morris	123	p	5526-3	75	99	90	78d	—	—	—	9.3	—	—
Fair third here on sole run for current yard but others have more compelling credentials
NR (8)	Phoenix Passion Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	122	—	-31111	81	100	84	45d	—	—	—	32.8	—	—
