Won a warm conditions race at Beverley on second start; the type to continue to progress
10 (8)	Havana Hurricane Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	131	—	12	-	100	74	12d	—	—	-8	20.7	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Won at Goodwood then very creditable 2nd in the Woodcote at Epsom; could have part to play
22 (22)	Utmost Respect Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	131	—	2	-	95	53	35d	—	—	-15	13.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Lots went wrong on debut at York but he was still a close second; interesting contender
21 (14)	Tough Critic Bay J:Flavien Prat T:George Weaver	J:Flavien Prat T:George Weaver	131	—	1	-	98	-	55d	—	—	-8	17.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Did very well to win on debut; US trainer saddled Crimson Advocate to win 2023 Queen Mary
18 (12)	Rogue Supremacy Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	131	—	1	-	96	41	16d	—	—	-15	21.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Odds-on when winning in taking fashion at Wetherby on debut and looks a very nice prospect
19 (1)	Shaman Champion Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Richard Hughes	J:Billy Loughnane T:Richard Hughes	131	—	1	-	94	72	39d	—	—	-6	17	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Swiftly put the race to bed on debut at Leicester after hitting the front; in calculations
2 (23)	Azizam Grey J:Sam James T:K R Burke	J:Sam James T:K R Burke	131	—	1	-	94	63	21d	—	—	+4	12.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Belied 9-1 odds to win by 2.5l on debut at Hamilton; could go well for powerful 2yo stable
7 (5)	First Approach Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	131	—	214	-	96	70	24d	—	—	+5	11	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Failed to settle & weakened in 6f Group 3 latest; retains potential now back down in trip
14 (10)	Logi Bear Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	131	—	3214	-	97	85	12d	—	—	-3	16	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Fair fourth in the Woodcote at Epsom recently but form needs to go to a new level today
6 (17)	Dickensian Bay J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	131	—	16	-	97	85	49d	—	—	+4	8.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Musselburgh winner who was 2l sixth here since; capable of better but needs to show it
8 (9)	Gaga Mate Chestnut J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	131	—	1	-	93	73	19d	—	—	-5	16.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Impressed at Catterick for Dylan Cunha; tougher assignment on yard debut but not ruled out
11 (13)	Jan Steen Bay J:David Egan T:K R Burke	J:David Egan T:K R Burke	131	—	13	-	100	83	34d	—	—	+7	11.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Won at Thirsk then good third under penalty at York; this stiff 5f should suit; e-w claims
4 (21)	Better And Better Bay J:P J McDonald T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:P J McDonald T:Adrian Paul Keatley	131	—	21	-	98	79	7d	—	—	+11	14.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won by a head at Hamilton on second start; promising sort but needs further improvement
20 (18)	Sovereign Spell Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Raphael E Freire	J:Rossa Ryan T:Raphael E Freire	131	—	2	-	93	66	45d	—	—	+2	6.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
120,000gns breeze-up buy; beaten a neck in warm race at Newmarket on debut; not ruled out
9 (11)	Gorey Gold Chestnut J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	131	—	51	-	99	67	12d	—	—	-3	15.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Today's rivals are significantly higher calibre but he impressed at Bath; not discounted
1 (3)	Ardisia Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	131	—	1341	-	94	67	25d	—	—	+12	15.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
2 wins from his 4 starts but tends to be slowly away & probably vulnerable now up in grade
23 (20)	Wyle Cop b/br J:Dylan Hogan T:Jack Jones	J:Dylan Hogan T:Jack Jones	131	—	4	-	85	52	22d	—	1W/1P 1 run	-3	1.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Encouraging fourth on debut at Leicester but lots of improvement is necessary today
12 (4)	Kamakameleon Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:Dylan Cunha	J:Tom Marquand T:Dylan Cunha	131	b	615	-	92	85	20d	—	—	+4	8.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Won at Doncaster on second start; fifth of seven in Sandown Listed since; blinkers go on
15 (19)	Nuevo Slovo Bay J:Colin Keane T:John S O'Donoghue	J:Colin Keane T:John S O'Donoghue	131	—	61	-	82	48	51d	—	—	+7	11.1	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Won in a small field at Ayr on second start; others have far more substance to their form
3 (16)	Beach Partee Chestnut J:Neil Callan T:William Knight	J:Neil Callan T:William Knight	131	—	6	-	69	62	18d	—	—	-3	1.1	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Displayed some ability when sixth at 28-1 on debut at York but he would be a shock winner
24 (2)	Oasis Diamond Bay J:David Allan T:Michael & David Easterby	J:David Allan T:Michael & David Easterby	126	—	63	-	74	23	16d	—	—	0	4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Third of six at Wetherby when no match for the winner Rogue Supremacy; hard to fancy
5 (15)	Call Me By My Name Bay J:Adam Farragher T:James Horton	J:Adam Farragher T:James Horton	131	—	0203	-	90	51	18d	—	—	+3	6.6	75.00/1	300/1 0%
Has twice finished placed at Chester but 0-4 and unlikely to shed his maiden tag today
NR (24)	Kansas Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:A P O'Brien	J:NON-RUNNER T:A P O'Brien	131	—	323	-	100	-	11d	—	—	—	8	—	—
0-3 but plenty of promise and could benefit from getting greater cover in this big field
