Did it in good style from the front at Chester (1m2f, good) 18 days ago but off 8lb lower
17 (8)	Westridge Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Billy Loughnane T:John & Thady Gosden	120	p	7-5212	92	119	96	31d	—	—	+3	13.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%

15 (3)	Jolly Jack Tar Bay J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	122	—	313-1	94	117	-	40d	—	—	+12	24.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Won well on handicap debut; all set for better still if he proves effective on turf debut
10 (17)	Defiance Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	127	—	/270-4	99	116	96	53d	—	—	+6	14.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%

3rd in this 2024; Royal Hunt Cup did not work out but he's back in more familiar territory
13 (18)	English Oak Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Ed Walker	J:Charles Bishop T:Ed Walker	125	—	-90602	97	118	115	12d	—	—	+12	18.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Impressive at 2024 Royal Ascot (7f); 12 days ago was clearly his best show this term (1m)
8 (5)	Ancient Rome b/br J:Jamie Spencer T:Charles Hills	J:Jamie Spencer T:Charles Hills	128	—	709030	100	121	90	17d	—	—	+10	16.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%

Won his last two; fine in big fields and another healthy step forward can't be ruled out
1 (7)	Bolster Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:K R Burke	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:K R Burke	138	—	211-44	110	117	82	51d	—	—	+11	16.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Often front-runs; 1m4f here was seemingly too much last time; not dismissed if it's rained
7 (14)	Shadow Dance Grey J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	J:Jack Mitchell T:Roger Varian	128	—	/0213-	100	120	81	319d	—	—	+21	26.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%

14 (15)	Take Heart Grey J:Kieran Shoemark T:David Menuisier	J:Kieran Shoemark T:David Menuisier	123	—	06-966	95	119	90	81d	—	—	+8	12.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Won this last year off same mark; has not repeated the form and has left Johnny Murtagh
11 (4)	Silawi Bay J:James Doyle T:Hamad Al Jehani	J:James Doyle T:Hamad Al Jehani	127	—	48-010	99	116	89	41d	—	—	+9	13.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%

2 (11)	Naqeeb Bay J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	133	—	0-6538	105	118	104	17d	—	—	+11	14.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%
3rd of 18 at Royal Ascot (1m4f); John Smith's Cup at York latest did not pan out ideally
6 (16)	Sir Busker Bay J:Brandon Wilkie(3) T:William Knight	J:Brandon Wilkie(3) T:William Knight	129	p	8-9802	101	121	85	24d	—	—	+11	13.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
