#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
5 (1)	Logi Bear Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	130	—	3	-	84	58	6d	—	—	-17	11.9	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Highly encouraging debut last week but being drawn on the wing is not ideal
10 (2)	Son Of Sarabi Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	128	—	2	-	95	71	34d	—	—	-12	12.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Strong chance on his Brocklesby form provided he can overcome a low draw
11 (9)	Guernsey Lady Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:David Evans	J:Saffie Osborne T:David Evans	123	—	4	-	90	70	17d	—	—	-6	2.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Showed pace and only went down by 4l on her debut at Newmarket
8 (3)	Havana Hurricane Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Interesting that Charles Bishop presumably prefers him over winning stablemate Kesta
6 (4)	Sands Of Spain Bay J:Jason Watson T:Andrew Balding	J:Jason Watson T:Andrew Balding	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
36,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to 5f 2yo winner Storm Call (RPR 82)
7 (11)	Secret Santa Bay J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	J:Pat Dobbs T:Richard Hannon	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Pedigree all speed, being out of a Queen Mary winner; has a positive draw
1 (7)	Kesta Chestnut J:Georgia Dobie T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Georgia Dobie T:Eve Johnson Houghton	135	—	21	-	83	74	20d	—	—	+10	14.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Looks vulnerable with a penalty for winning at Brighton; may be yard's second string
9 (14)	Oh West Virginia Chestnut J:Hector Crouch T:Hugo Palmer	J:Hector Crouch T:Hugo Palmer	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Related to winners from 5f to 8.5f; stable's 2yos already off the mark
14 (5)	Sayidah Poets Chestnut J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	J:Finley Marsh T:Richard Hughes	123	—	7	-	66	42	28d	—	—	-3	1.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Showed speed but dropped away to beat only two home at Bath; did go off at 7-4
13 (10)	No Claims Bonus Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Harry Eustace	J:Jim Crowley T:Harry Eustace	123	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Havana Gila (RPR 80); dam 6f AW winner (89)
4 (15)	Irish Fighter Bay J:Paddy Bradley T:Ismail Mohammed	J:Paddy Bradley T:Ismail Mohammed	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.5	20.00/1	80/1 1%
25,000euros yearling; dam unraced half-sister to Epicuris (1m2f 2yo Group 1)
15 (6)	Shetakesthegold Bay J:Tyrese Cameron T:Richard Hannon	J:Tyrese Cameron T:Richard Hannon	123	—	34	-	76	-	12d	—	—	+2	2.3	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Comfortably held in two Southwell races over 5f and her yard has better chances
NR (13)	Burdett Estate Bay J:TBC T:Brian Toomey	J: T:Brian Toomey	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
20,000gns yearling; half-brother to five winners; stable not noted for 2yo winners
NR (12)	Goldenstateofmind Chestnut J:TBC T:David Loughnane	J: T:David Loughnane	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
35,000euros yearling; related to smart winners and the market needs checking
NR (8)	Henfield Bay J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Daniel Steele	J:Rhys Clutterbuck T:Daniel Steele	123	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Newcomer from a yard that doesn't have many 2yo runners
