Only third when favourite for second start (7f) but went close on debut (6f); big player
4 (7)	Claim That Smile Brown J:Hector Crouch T:Stuart Williams	J:Hector Crouch T:Stuart Williams	124	—	6-	-	71	33	50d	—	—	-19	8.4	0.56/1	9/4 31%
In rear for most of his debut but made good headway inside final furlong; can improve
3 (1)	This Farh Bay J:Connor Planas(3) T:David Loughnane	J:Connor Planas(3) T:David Loughnane	126	—	252-	-	83	73	9d	—	—	-4	12.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Found a newcomer just too strong last week but was nicely clear of the others; respected
5 (2)	Em Four Chestnut J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Jamie Osborne	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Jamie Osborne	124	—	46-	-	76	62	26d	—	1W/1P 1 run	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Promising fourth on debut (6f) but second run (5f) was probably a backward step

Out of a fairly useful 7f/7.4f winner but it's unnerving to see a hood fitted on debut
6 (5)	Best Of All Bay J:Aidan Keeley T:Roger Varian	J:Aidan Keeley T:Roger Varian	121	—	45-	-	71	57	24d	—	—	-2	0.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
With top stable and has good pedigree but didn't look anything special in first two races
7 (6)	Runnindown A Dream Bay J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:J R Jenkins	J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:J R Jenkins	119	—	0-	-	-	-	20d	—	—	0	0.2	125.00/1	500/1 0%
Detached in last throughout when 250-1 for debut at Southwell (5f) three weeks ago
