Staying-on third of 16 in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm) on handicap debut
4 (6)	Hutchence Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	132	v	-56311	88	101	93	21d	—	—	+20	31.3	1.50/1	6/1 14%
2-2 in blinkers over 1m4f; first off bridle latest but led post, so now has 1m6f and visor

In the spring he looked the type to make further progress, including at this longer trip
2 (3)	Too Bossy For Us Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Jim Crowley T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	133	p	-31328	89	99	86	14d	—	—	+11	21.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
2nd in a quite valuable C&D race; fair eighth in the Melrose at York; headgear goes on
3 (4)	Walter Hartright Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Ed Dunlop	J:Ryan Moore T:Ed Dunlop	133	b	111122	89	100	93	7d	—	—	+22	30.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Much improved over 1m4f since blinkered, with four wins and two 2nds; worth a go at 1m6f
1 (11)	Spaceport Grey J:Daniel Tudhope T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	J:Daniel Tudhope T:William Muir & Chris Grassick	135	—	712410	91	100	93	14d	—	—	+16	22.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
The front-running tactics did not work out in the Melrose at York, ending his improvement
8 (5)	Road To Wembley Bay J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	125	—	113421	81	100	90	16d	—	—	+19	26.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Competitive in all his six handicaps; runner-up in his only turf race (good to firm)

Off the mark with authority at Yarmouth (1m6f) at the end of July; raised 6lb and in class
11 (2)	Filibustering Bay J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Tim Easterby	J:Amie Waugh(5) T:Tim Easterby	117	—	123746	73	100	96	16d	—	—	+4	9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Running creditably but stays 2m and others are likely to have too much toe for him
10 (7)	Flickering Halo Brown J:Joe Fanning T:Tim Easterby	J:Joe Fanning T:Tim Easterby	122	p	693256	78	101	93	25d	—	—	+8	11.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Looks vulnerable to an improver unless the first-time headgear sparks something
NR (10)	Highland Bling Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Mrs John Harrington	J:NON-RUNNER T:Mrs John Harrington	132	p	441022	88	-	-	24d	—	—	—	21	—	—
Rallied strongly for a close 2nd at 1m4f last two starts, so this longer trip should suit
