Dual winner who still has potential after only six starts and he's respected on AW debut
4 (5)	Fair Point Bay J:Edward Greatrex T:Ralph Beckett	J:Edward Greatrex T:Ralph Beckett	121	—	32-213	87	109	40	40d	—	—	-6	15.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Close up on handicap debut at Ascot and she's open to more progress back at 7f; big player
3 (4)	Alzahir Chestnut J:Alistair Rawlinson T:David O'Meara	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:David O'Meara	129	ht	-40054	90	110	-	12d	—	—	+1	13.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Beaten less than 3l in last two runs and he shouldn't be far away back on AW

Dual winner at Newmarket but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached back on AW
1 (3)	Alaskan Gold Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Alan King	J:Rob Hornby T:Alan King	135	—	72-544	101	106	-	89d	—	—	+9	14.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Listed runner-up and he needs watching in market on his handicap/stable debut
