Created a good impression when winning on AW in December (1m); yard won this in 2019/2020
10 (7)	Summer Heat ch J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Saeed bin Suroor	J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Saeed bin Suroor	125	p	42	-	84	-	16d	—	—	-6	9.4	9/2 18%
Two fair efforts on AW; flashed tail last time when beaten as favourite; headgear now
8 (4)	Arf's Duchess ch J:Oisin Murphy T:Charles Hills	J:Oisin Murphy T:Charles Hills	125	—	6-	-	69	59	292d	—	—	-10	4	11/2 15%
Sixth of nine behind subsequent Group 1 winner Whirl on debut (7f, good); should improve

270,000euros breeze-up 2yo; of interest on paper but this is a belated racecourse debut
5 (9)	Off Spin b J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	130	—	355-	71	75	68	286d	—	—	+2	8.7	12/1 8%
Didn't progress from promising debut at 2yrs; gelded during nine-month absence; e-w shout
4 (8)	Believe In Lies b J:Connor Beasley T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Connor Beasley T:David & Nicola Barron	134	—	47	-	72	52	26d	—	—	-1	0.4	66/1 1%
Her two runs over shorter don't suggest she is the answer today
2 (2)	Jubilee Party ch J:Mark Winn T:John David Riches	J:Mark Winn T:John David Riches	139	p	5	-	64	46	12d	—	—	-1	0.2	125/1 1%
Modest form on Flat debut (1m2f) 12 days ago; best watched
7 (3)	Tatanka b J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	130	—	46	-	66	52	12d	—	—	-1	0.3	125/1 1%
Two runs this summer not without promise but handicaps more suitable after today
9 (6)	Mary Anne Maximus b J:Faye McManoman T:Brian Ellison	J:Faye McManoman T:Brian Ellison	125	—	9	-	36	17	15d	—	—	-1	0.2	200/1 0%
200-1 when well beaten at Beverley last month; no appeal
