6 (12)	Two Tribes Chestnut J:Ryan Moore T:Richard Spencer	J:Ryan Moore T:Richard Spencer	133	b	76-344	90	104	92	19d	—	—	-8	18	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Consistent this term; ran creditably upped to 7f most recently; unexposed at the trip
10 (2)	Physique Bay J:Robert Havlin T:Pam Sly	J:Robert Havlin T:Pam Sly	129	h	9-4723	86	106	76	25d	—	—	+1	12.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Mostly encouraging form for new yard, notably solid second at Newmarket; commands respect
7 (7)	Cogitate Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Charles Hills	J:Billy Loughnane T:Charles Hills	132	—	84-771	89	105	91	33d	—	—	0	13.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Justified favouritism at Salisbury last month, posting a career-best performance
1 (6)	Qazaq Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	135	h	1/11-6	92	108	-	176d	—	—	+9	18	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Lost his unbeaten record in latest AW start but this drop back to 7f may prove beneficial
3 (4)	Cracking Gold Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	134	t	231048	91	105	85	31d	—	—	+7	16.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Too free over 1m2f last time; now 0-5 on turf and peak form remains on AW
12 (9)	Be Frank Bay J:David Probert T:Ian Williams	J:David Probert T:Ian Williams	120	p	877-13	77	108	91	25d	—	—	0	9.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Won at Newmarket on reappearance then ran well in AW event; still favourably treated
5 (8)	Hickory Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jamie Osborne	133	—	02-137	90	104	84	14d	—	—	+4	12.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won the Victoria Cup on stable debut; disappointing favourite at Newbury last time
9 (10)	Tennessee Gold Chestnut J:Daniel Muscutt T:Joseph Parr	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Joseph Parr	130	—	1341-0	87	106	91	25d	—	—	+4	11.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Steadily progressive last term; met traffic issues and never figured on reappearance
11 (5)	Royal Velvet Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:William Knight	J:Cieren Fallon T:William Knight	124	—	65-415	81	105	91	15d	—	—	+3	9.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Record is 5-14; belatedly returns to 7f, over which she is 2-4; remains of interest
8 (3)	Great Acclaim Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	131	—	20-084	88	101	84	34d	—	—	+7	10.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
All wins at 1m but showed signs of a return to form in 7f contest most recently
2 (1)	Aramis Grey Grey J:Callum Shepherd T:Jack Jones	J:Callum Shepherd T:Jack Jones	134	p	-53626	91	105	73	45d	—	—	+11	15.9	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Chance of ending a long losing sequence depends on how well she responds to headgear
4 (11)	Rock Walk Chestnut J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	133	t	779-48	90	98	76	19d	—	—	+9	10.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Seemed unsuited by the drop back to 7f this month on British debut
