Only 4th of 7 at York but lightly raced and this drop back in trip is well worth exploring
15 (7)	Promethean Grey J:James Doyle T:David Menuisier	J:James Doyle T:David Menuisier	125	—	35-424	85	104	88	44d	—	—	-2	13.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Creditable fourth over C&D last month when the race wasn't run to suit; player
16 (14)	City Of Delight Bay J:William Buick T:David Menuisier	J:William Buick T:David Menuisier	123	—	341111	83	103	97	63d	—	—	+24	36.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%

Made it 2-2 in handicaps with ready win at York in May; a 9lb rise may not stop him

Won in good style at Newbury and 6lb rise isn't harsh; in-form Kaiya Fraser removes 3lb
6 (16)	Stressfree Chestnut J:Jamie Spencer T:David O'Meara	J:Jamie Spencer T:David O'Meara	136	—	233122	92	102	92	14d	—	—	+21	27.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
In fine form this autumn and has run well over C&D on both visits here; one to consider

Has won at Goodwood the last twice and he ran well in the Lincoln here in March; respected
12 (15)	Have Secret Chestnut J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	130	—	336255	86	105	89	14d	—	—	+8	13.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%

14 (13)	Shadow Of War Grey J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Thady Gosden	126	—	5/31-	82	103	-	443d	—	—	+4	9.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Absent since winning in August 2023 but well bred and has potential off opening mark
3 (12)	Terwada Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	138	—	0-0652	94	103	94	62d	—	—	+7	12.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Clear with unexposed Godolphin winner at Yarmouth last time and he's not ruled out.

Underwhelming in light campaign this season but on a dangerous mark and blinkers may help
9 (10)	Euchen Glen Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	134	—	645724	90	104	93	14d	—	—	+11	14.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
11yo but has run well several times this year and he might not be far away
17 (1)	Afloat Bay J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:Rae Guest	J:Sean D Bowen(3) T:Rae Guest	121	—	782312	77	104	90	11d	—	—	+20	22.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
