Won twice last term and back near that level on last two outings
11 (8)	Astronomica Bay J:George Wood T:Dr Jon Scargill	J:George Wood T:Dr Jon Scargill	132	—	4-0252	62	76	55	17d	—	—	-6	6.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
This first attempt beyond 1m may help but peak efforts have been on softer than good
12 (14)	Chourmo Bay J:J F Egan T:Mark Gillard	J:J F Egan T:Mark Gillard	132	—	733172	62	81	56	15d	—	—	+5	18.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%

Ten-race maiden but she's edging down the weights and was not far away on last two outings
4 (12)	Swatch Bay J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	138	—	-01324	68	77	59	17d	—	—	+7	14.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Made a respectable start for new yard 17 days ago; a career best may well be needed
13 (3)	Little Tiger Bay J:Edward Greatrex T:William Stone	J:Edward Greatrex T:William Stone	130	b	-77115	60	76	47	15d	—	—	+8	16.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Two wins this term, latter by wide margin in October (up 11lb today); flop nine days later
7 (2)	Imperial Cult Chestnut J:Gina Mangan T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	J:Gina Mangan T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	136	—	128198	66	76	66	6d	—	—	+4	12.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Backward steps on his last two outings but perhaps heavy ground excuses latest
5 (13)	Phone Tag Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Kevin Frost	J:Jack Mitchell T:Kevin Frost	137	p	249726	70	77	57	17d	—	—	+3	10.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Second run for this yard was not nearly so good and he now tries cheekpieces
10 (10)	Blue Collar Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:David Evans	J:Richard Kingscote T:David Evans	132	—	024950	65	80	60	17d	—	—	0	6.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Fair fifth on stable debut and perhaps heavy ground was against him on latest start
1 (6)	Marsh Benham Chestnut J:Charles Bishop T:George Baker	J:Charles Bishop T:George Baker	142	p	391616	72	76	55	4d	—	—	+11	17.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Very in and out in recent starts but he was 1m winner at Brighton on two of his last four
3 (11)	Moonlit Cloud Bay J:Liam Keniry T:Dean Ivory	J:Liam Keniry T:Dean Ivory	140	—	157588	70	78	63	23d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Last won in May; she's back to that mark today, having run badly on last two starts
14 (9)	Saachi Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Harry Eustace	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Harry Eustace	123	—	573465	56	75	47	17d	—	—	0	3.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Minor honours in his first two handicaps but backward steps last two starts

One win (2022) last four years; first cheekpieces had a positive effect, now tries a visor
8 (4)	Foreseen Bay J:Jason Watson T:Adam West	J:Jason Watson T:Adam West	136	tb	18958	69	78	76	33d	—	—	+4	7.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won on debut in France; failed to live up to that in his four races since; blinkers now
