#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (2)	Stratocracy Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	J:Rossa Ryan T:Kevin Frost	135	p	-33212	75	88	72	14d	—	—	+8	28.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Hard to knock this campaign and went down narrowly in a Class 4 last time at Ascot
2 (1)	Crown's Lady Grey J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	135	—	-21312	75	87	76	30d	—	—	+9	29.9	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Would probably have won last time at Catterick had she broke better from the stalls
8 (5)	Beaming Light Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:David Loughnane	J:Richard Kingscote T:David Loughnane	130	—	-21112	70	87	70	29d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+15	30.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
His hat-trick triggered a rise in the weights and he came up short at Doncaster
7 (7)	Rascal Recknell Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Michael Appleby	J:Saffie Osborne T:Michael Appleby	130	—	9998-1	70	88	75	42d	—	—	+3	20	1.75/1	7/1 13%
All out for a winning stable debut over this far at Doncaster; just 2lb higher
3 (11)	Finbar's Lad Chestnut J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Sean Quinn	134	—	-54319	74	85	70	23d	—	—	+8	17.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Chance if forgiven last time and the booking of Oisin Murphy is eyecatching
6 (3)	One Night Thunder Chestnut J:Kaiya Fraser T:Gemma Tutty	J:Kaiya Fraser T:Gemma Tutty	130	h	-80669	70	85	59	15d	—	—	-1	7.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
0-11 since a winning debut; the odd run of note for this yard but not the percentage call
5 (4)	Paws For Thought Bay J:Charlie Maggs(5) T:Donald McCain	J:Charlie Maggs(5) T:Donald McCain	133	p	-89989	73	86	69	13d	—	—	+2	7.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Usually goes well at Chester and yet he's failed to fire in all five races there this year
10 (10)	Thapa Vc Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Mark Rimell	J:Jim Crowley T:Mark Rimell	127	tb	841554	67	90	77	37d	—	—	+3	9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Can be slow to break but nearly won this last year and goes well for Jim Crowley
4 (8)	Bajan Bandit Bay J:David Allan T:Patrick Morris	J:David Allan T:Patrick Morris	134	—	300640	74	87	66	15d	—	—	+3	7.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Looks a better horse on this surface than the soft he encountered last time
11 (9)	Chifa Grey J:Daniel Muscutt T:Ed de Giles	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Ed de Giles	127	p	383440	67	84	66	38d	—	—	+3	6.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Latest AW run too bad to be true and had been running well; couldn't discount
9 (6)	Joe Masseria Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Sam England	J:Tom Eaves T:Sam England	128	—	3-7000	68	86	39	15d	—	—	+5	7.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Won three times in Ireland but beaten about 10l in his two runs for this yard; opposable
