Falling in weights, has a good record at Wolverhampton and makes each-way appeal

Has a fine strike-rate (11-45); narrow winner at Lingfield last time; in the mix again
1 (7)	Arthur's Realm Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	137	—	46639-	87	96	-	133d	—	—	+1	15.4	11/2 15%
Won the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar last May but failed to repeat the form; bit to prove

Shaped quite well when third at Kempton but failed to fulfil that promise at Southwell
4 (2)	Eagle Day Bay J:Jordan Williams(5) T:David Evans	J:Jordan Williams(5) T:David Evans	134	—	1-4926	84	97	85	19d	—	—	+8	18.6	15/2 12%
No obvious excuse when beating one home last time; chance may depend on getting easy lead
5 (9)	Son Of Man Bay J:Paddy Bradley T:Jim Boyle	J:Paddy Bradley T:Jim Boyle	133	—	08766-	83	95	75	112d	—	—	+2	10.8	9/1 10%
Unplaced all four starts for this stable; falling in weights but more to prove than some
9 (3)	Etretat Bay J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	122	—	32-138	72	97	90	29d	—	—	0	7.6	12/1 8%
Ran as if amiss at Lingfield in February but no surprise if he bounces back
8 (4)	Party Island Chestnut J:George Bass(3) T:Denis Coakley	J:George Bass(3) T:Denis Coakley	126	—	3135-9	76	97	55	20d	—	—	+3	7.9	22/1 4%
1m was probably an inadequate trip last time; 7-21 on AW; not discounted
7 (11)	Expert Witness Bay J:David Probert T:Patrick Chamings	J:David Probert T:Patrick Chamings	130	t	16830-	80	97	56	134d	—	—	+8	12.8	28/1 3%
Consistent for Sir Mark Todd last season but has to prove she's as effective on AW as turf
10 (8)	Laser Focus Bay J:Laura Pearson T:James Owen	J:Laura Pearson T:James Owen	120	t	3414-7	70	94	68	10d	—	—	+3	5.6	100/1 1%
Last of seven back on Flat at Kempton ten days ago; much more required off same mark
NR (6)	Al Waqidi Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	135	t	1/1/36	85	92	66	20d	—	—	—	20.8	—
Very lightly raced 7yo; not without a chance if building on second run after long absence
