A win and a close third over C&D this summer; this 3yo is drawn low and respected

5 (13)	Mcmanaman Bay J:Taylor Fisher(3) T:Joe Tickle	J:Taylor Fisher(3) T:Joe Tickle	135	—	203-00	89	94	74	31d	—	—	+7	10.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
On a competitive mark but down the field on stable debut and may be best watched for now
NR (14)	Candy Bay J:George Wood T:Richard Spencer	J:George Wood T:Richard Spencer	135	—	1-6700	92	98	75	51d	—	—	—	17.5	—	—

2yo Listed winner last October but hasn't shone this year; a major turnaround is needed
NR (11)	Dyonisos Bay J:Edward Greatrex T:Ian Williams	J:Edward Greatrex T:Ian Williams	135	—	-12110	92	95	73	30d	—	—	—	26	—	—

NR (7)	Francisco's Piece Bay J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Adrian Paul Keatley	135	b	34-805	92	95	74	21d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Didn't run badly on fast ground at Ascot; could build on that when back on a slow surface
NR (16)	Running Queen Bay J:Sean D Bowen T:Ollie Sangster	J:Sean D Bowen T:Ollie Sangster	132	—	4133-7	89	92	74	121d	—	—	—	9.8	—	—
