Two wins from first three starts then bumped into thriving winner; firmly in calculations
4	Lavida Adiva Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Ruth Jefferson	J:Brian Hughes T:Ruth Jefferson	161	—	332-68	113	123	100	33d	—	—	0	22.4	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Soundly beaten on both runs this term but now back down in grade; capable off current mark
2	Little Miss Dante Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	167	—	3PP-34	119	118	97	35d	—	—	+7	21.3	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Inconsistent across her 4 runs this year; could leave latest run behind if settling better

A return to form is needed but she's edging down the weights and is not written off
3	Victoria Milano Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Alastair Ralph	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Alastair Ralph	164	—	1218P-	116	122	111	246d	—	—	+17	26	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Well beaten on final two runs last term but lightly raced and looked promising previously
1	Lunar Discovery Bay J:Leah Noreci(10) T:James Moffatt	J:Leah Noreci(10) T:James Moffatt	170	—	22P-50	122	123	77	12d	—	—	+13	19.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Down the field on both runs this term but in tough races; not ruled out back down in grade
8	Sweet Magic Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Alastair Ralph	J:Liam Harrison T:Alastair Ralph	148	—	27/F-7	100	116	-	36d	—	—	+9	13.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Feasibly treated on 2023 form and may have needed the run at Ffos Las last month
5	Majestic Jameela Bay J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Stuart Edmunds	161	p	13-3F9	113	109	91	37d	—	—	+12	17.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Promising juvenile last season and the first-time cheekpieces may help her jumping
NR	Could Be Trouble Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Donald McCain	J:NON-RUNNER T:Donald McCain	157	tb	658143	109	119	99	27d	—	—	—	22.8	—	—
