3 (2)	Hornsea Bay Chestnut J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	133	—	12-47	87	100	72	36d	—	—	-5	15.4	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Disappointing favourite on handicap debut; gelded since; looks bred far more for this trip
2 (5)	The Trickster Bay J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	133	—	11-23	87	97	73	29d	—	—	-5	15	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Creditable placed efforts in 1m2f/1m handicaps this season; settling is still an issue
5 (3)	War Hawk Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon & Ed Crisford	130	—	241421	84	96	82	7d	—	—	+11	30.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Progressive in 1m2f handicaps, with a tidy win at Chester (good) last Saturday; up 5lb
6 (7)	Meblesh Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	128	—	341	82	96	85	22d	—	—	+9	23.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Handicap debut demands more but he should still bring potential after Newbury maiden win
7 (9)	Chartwell Jock Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	128	p	8-2123	82	99	81	28d	—	—	-1	11.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Carries his head rather high; 2nd and 3rd in two six-runner handicaps; cheekpieces go on
9 (6)	Grecian Legacy Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	J:Hollie Doyle T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	126	t	2224-1	80	98	74	36d	—	—	+11	20.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
6lb rise probably underestimates him after he won at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in taking style
10 (1)	Cayman Dancer Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	125	—	312	79	94	84	18d	—	—	+17	22.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Twice first past post; can still do better and it looks a reasonable opening handicap mark
1 (10)	Love Talk Bay J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	135	—	4147-3	89	95	82	28d	—	—	+10	13.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Lingfield Oaks Trial should have blown away cobwebs; may prove effective over this trip
8 (4)	Patrol Bay J:David Egan T:Dylan Cunha	J:David Egan T:Dylan Cunha	126	—	-21319	80	96	69	43d	—	—	+18	20.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Cracking record in AW handicaps; no show at 33-1 when back to turf at Sandown (1m2f, good)
NR (8)	Law Of Design Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	131	p	317-89	85	95	30	21d	—	—	—	8.8	—	—
Novice win at Ascot (7f, soft) as 2yo but hasn't beaten a rival in his three outings since
