1m1f Hamilton winner in June (good) and has consolidated that effort since; contender.
5 (11)	Royal Blaze Bay J:David Nolan T:Ewan Whillans	J:David Nolan T:Ewan Whillans	135	p	8-6996	48	64	18	17d	—	—	-16	6.7	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Back at 1m2f for only the second time this term; unraced below 0-65 class previously.
7 (12)	Sassy Glory Bay J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	135	p	498322	50	60	50	8d	—	—	+1	13.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
0-20, but 1m2f classified seconds on turf and (latest) Tapeta the last twice; shortlisted.
12 (10)	Searcog Bay J:Mark Winn T:Patrick Magee	J:Mark Winn T:Patrick Magee	127	p	70-054	48	60	48	26d	—	—	-5	1.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Player on peak 2yo maiden form; more encouragement again at Killarney latest (11.5f)
8 (1)	Advertorial Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Ed Dunlop	J:Connor Beasley T:Ed Dunlop	127	b	8-1255	48	59	-	17d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Didn't run up to this year's Tapeta efforts back on turf latest (1m4f); blinkers added.
3 (13)	Dazzling Spirit Bay J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(5) T:Cian Collins	J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(5) T:Cian Collins	135	—	0-3905	38	51	44	14d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Two okay efforts at Gowran Park this year (9.5f), but losing run continues to stack up.
2 (6)	Blazer Two Bay J:Jason Hart T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J:Jason Hart T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	135	tb	8/580-	47	61	-	—	—	—	-3	1.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Dual fast-ground 1m4f Leicester scorer in 2022-23; not quite so compelling over shorter.
13 (9)	Transfuse Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	127	b	007646	44	53	35	7d	—	—	-2	0.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Mixed results of late, but set a new personal best two runs ago when beaten only 2l (C&D).
9 (8)	Falaise Blanc Bay J:Greg Fairley T:Katie Scott	J:Greg Fairley T:Katie Scott	127	b	-76037	46	51	40	19d	—	—	+1	2.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
1m2f appeared within compass here two starts ago (soft), less so on his most recent start.
6 (7)	Royal Countess Bay J:Amie Waugh(3) T:R Mike Smith	J:Amie Waugh(3) T:R Mike Smith	135	p	57-598	41	49	42	19d	—	—	-1	0.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
C&D winner with no ground issues; recent form and retention of headgear aren't positives.
NR (4)	Aighear Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Jim Goldie	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jim Goldie	135	—	4/9200	46	-	-	54d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Sole form since return from a long break came over 2m1f; long time since last 1m2f start.
NR (2)	Fuel The Fire Bay J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	127	b	768-76	48	55	13	8d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Ultimately paid for trying to serve it up to Sassy Glory at Newcastle latest (1m2f).
NR (5)	Satyress Chestnut J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Harriet Bethell	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Harriet Bethell	127	—	7884	50	54	33	22d	—	—	—	0	—	—
No breakthrough for the switch to handicaps and 1m2f latest; still early days, however.
