Listed sixth over C&D (soft) last time; highly regarded; may want slow ground
13 (9)	Hymnbook Bay J:Robert Havlin T:S Woods	J:Robert Havlin T:S Woods	124	—	8-3212	89	111	88	20d	—	—	+7	10.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Runner-up at Ayr last time; it was just a 0-80 but the form reads well; each-way possible
6 (11)	Seagolazo Grey J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	129	b	742-03	94	109	91	21d	—	—	+9	11.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Close third over 1m at Newmarket three weeks ago; it remains to be seen if he'll stay 1m2f
