#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
8 (2)	Royal Dress Bay J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	128	—	813-34	105	124	101	31d	—	—	-5	22.2	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Major contender in this field, provided the removal of hood doesn't backfire
2 (6)	Charlotte's Web Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Tom Marquand T:Simon & Ed Crisford	128	—	1-1233	103	117	-	11d	—	—	+8	25.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Each-way possibilities provided she's as effective back on turf and back at 1m
1 (10)	Soprano Chestnut J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	131	—	320-17	107	119	71	20d	—	—	+2	19.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Very useful filly; commands respect, even with 3lb penalty, back in this grade
4 (11)	Francophone Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	128	p	44-455	97	116	93	20d	—	—	+3	15.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces dropped back to 1m at Royal Ascot
6 (5)	Imperial Quarter Bay J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	128	—	386-04	99	118	85	11d	—	—	+5	14.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Only 1-10 but is interesting on her peak effort (behind a Group 1 filly)
3 (7)	Cheshire Dancer Grey J:Kevin Stott T:Hugo Palmer	J:Kevin Stott T:Hugo Palmer	128	—	26-013	86	106	82	20d	—	—	+3	11.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ran well in Royal Ascot handicap last time but this looks a much stiffer task
7 (9)	Julia Augusta Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	128	t	579-30	97	114	96	20d	—	—	+6	13.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
On a long losing spell; addition of tognue-tie needs to make a difference
11 (8)	Vicario Chestnut J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	128	t	08-893	83	108	61	10d	—	—	+6	9	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Ran respectably upped to 1m last time but has plenty to find
10 (1)	Tropical Island Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	128	p	3-1604	89	108	89	7d	—	—	+10	12.4	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Possibly flattered in this grade over 7f on AW last week
5 (4)	Gaiety Musical Bay J:P J McDonald T:David Evans	J:P J McDonald T:David Evans	128	—	919263	80	95	93	12d	—	—	+14	15.5	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Yet to win on turf and has the worst chance at the weights
NR (3)	Sparks Fly Bay J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	J:Laura Pearson T:David Loughnane	128	—	111-83	109	124	108	31d	—	—	—	14.8	—	—
Excellent strike-rate on softer than good; leading contender on the figures
