Classy pedigree and he could be a big improver after looking very green at Kempton (1m)
5 (6)	Gloriously Sassy Bay J:Shane Gray T:K R Burke	J:Shane Gray T:K R Burke	128	—	43	-	79	62	18d	—	—	-14	10.3	0.63/1	5/2 29%
In frame twice at 7f; looks sure to be in the money again, with 1m+ highly likely to help
7 (2)	Hymnbook Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:S Woods	J:Billy Loughnane T:S Woods	128	—	8-3	-	73	-	20d	—	—	-6	6.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
2l third of 11 at Wolverhampton (again 7f on AW; 4-1) on second start; place claims
8 (11)	Komodo Island Bay J:George Downing T:Ed Walker	J:George Downing T:Ed Walker	128	—	86-	-	74	-	121d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
By Frankel out of 1,000 Guineas winner; set for improvement this term, so he's in the mix
3 (1)	Andersen Bay J:Jamie Spencer T:David Simcock	J:Jamie Spencer T:David Simcock	128	h	4	-	68	-	50d	—	—	-5	1.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
16-1 and hooded, green when 4l fourth of eight in maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March
9 (4)	Sir Wootton Bay J:David Egan T:John Butler	J:David Egan T:John Butler	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
By Wootton Bassett; late foal on debut but pedigree means he needs a market check
2 (7)	Flag Of Love Grey J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	137	—	0/24-	77	82	50	240d	—	—	+3	8.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Easily best run when Haydock 2nd (1m, good) in July; good chance on that; left H Charlton
1 (10)	Mazza Bay J:P J McDonald T:Geoffrey Harker	J:P J McDonald T:Geoffrey Harker	142	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.3	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Massaat half-brother to four winners; on his debut, others seem more likely
10 (3)	Wicklow Way Bay J:Jack Garritty T:Mark Walford	J:Jack Garritty T:Mark Walford	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.5	31.25/1	125/1 1%
8,000euros yearling by The Irish Rover; on debut, he's perhaps best watched
6 (5)	Hidden Hero Bay J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	128	—	0-9	-	15	-	10d	—	—	0	0.2	75.00/1	300/1 0%
Behind in Brocklesby at Doncaster last March and the same at Ripon (6f, good) ten days ago
NR (8)	Morning Angel Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Mark Walford	J:Cam Hardie T:Mark Walford	123	—	4-7	-	56	42	15d	—	—	—	0	—	—
