4 (3)	Lion Of Alba Bay J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	130	—	55	-	85	83	28d	—	—	-31	15.4	0.28/1	11/10 48%
Promise when fifth on both starts and the extra yardage is a likely plus; one to consider
1 (6)	Laazm Bay J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	J:P J McDonald T:Andrew Balding	136	—	1	-	82	43	27d	—	—	-3	15.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Favourite when he won C&D newcomers' race; form has been let down but he's still respected
5 (7)	No Direction Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:K R Burke	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:K R Burke	130	—	3	-	81	34	20d	—	—	-9	8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Kept on well for 3rd over 6f on debut and the step up in trip may well be a positive move
2 (4)	Amirlan Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Charlie Johnston	J:Callum Shepherd T:Charlie Johnston	130	—	3	-	81	39	14d	—	—	-3	5.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Third on recent debut and this 230,000gns yearling is open to improvement; chance
3 (5)	Dryburgh Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Marco Ghiani T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	130	—	46	-	76	48	25d	—	—	-7	2.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Denied clear run when sixth at Ffos Las on second start; could get closer to the target
7 (2)	Senor Campanaro Bay J:George Downing T:Ed Walker	J:George Downing T:Ed Walker	130	—	7	-	73	44	22d	—	—	-3	1.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Seventh of nine on debut but likely to improve for that and dam was triple Group 3 winner
6 (1)	Risk Averse Rebel Bay J:Sean D Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	J:Sean D Bowen T:Gary Hanmer	130	—	7	-	-	-	22d	—	—	-1	0.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
80-1, always behind on debut at Haydock (7f, good) this month
