10 (2)	Respond Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Andrew Balding	J:Joe Fanning T:Andrew Balding	116	h	4621	86	115	107	34d	—	—	+4	30.5	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Progressive form and a much respected handicap newcomer
3 (8)	Hopewell Rock Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	124	—	11-3	94	115	100	26d	—	—	0	19.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
2-2 last year, including on heavy; may have needed belated reappearance; interesting
8 (9)	First Principle Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:William Haggas	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:William Haggas	118	t	1-21	88	105	95	38d	—	—	+8	19.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
2-3 in novices; tongue-tie added on handicap debut for top yard in excellent form
7 (1)	Immediate Effect Bay J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	J:Luke Morris T:Sir Mark Prescott Bt	119	p	214223	89	115	99	30d	—	—	+14	23.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Consistent but may not have enough in hand of his mark for a race like this
4 (4)	Castle Stuart Bay J:Barry McHugh T:Richard Fahey	J:Barry McHugh T:Richard Fahey	124	—	15-313	94	117	95	19d	—	—	+4	13.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Improved again when third of 15 in York Ebor meeting handicap; won on soft; considered
6 (7)	Palazzo Blu Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Marco Botti	J:Oisin Murphy T:Marco Botti	121	—	1-2185	91	114	102	62d	—	—	+13	18.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Back on form when fifth in strong Newmarket handicap in July; off since
9 (5)	Hot Cash Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Jack Channon	J:Saffie Osborne T:Jack Channon	118	—	372156	88	114	99	33d	—	—	+12	17.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Handicapper seems to have caught up but the fact he's won on soft is a plus
2 (10)	Devil's Advocate Bay J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	134	p	1-6404	104	110	96	19d	—	—	+17	21.7	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Fourth in Dante but distant fourth in Windsor Group 3 on recent return from gelding op
1 (6)	Molveno Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	135	t	115521	105	113	87	101d	—	—	+26	30.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Useful at 1m but much improved when stepping up to 1m3f to win Italian Derby in June
5 (3)	Wolf Of Badenoch Chestnut J:David Egan T:Hugo Palmer	J:David Egan T:Hugo Palmer	122	p	46-509	92	112	77	26d	—	—	+8	11.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Yard won this last year but it's hard to draw positives from his efforts in 2025
