Record of 12114 for new connections; 3-3 in turf handicaps and commands respect
4 (16)	Rock Opera Bay J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	136	v	343739	79	87	80	27d	—	—	+2	13.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Has made the frame in most runs this term; scored over C&D last year; in the mix
3 (14)	Bob Mali Bay J:Tommie Jakes T:Charles Hills	J:Tommie Jakes T:Charles Hills	139	—	-24005	84	85	88	16d	—	—	+3	12	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Record of 1112 in 6f contests on softer than good; interesting if ground is slow

Has lacked consistency since C&D win last October; change of headgear
14 (6)	Charlie Mason Bay J:Jack Doughty T:Tony Carroll	J:Jack Doughty T:Tony Carroll	127	—	803322	70	89	70	14d	—	—	+8	19	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Last two efforts suggest he's on his way back to winning form; shortlisted
7 (12)	Woodstock Bay J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Ruth Carr	J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Ruth Carr	135	b	306882	78	89	74	17d	—	—	+6	14.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%

AW wins the last twice; likely player if getting his ideal turf ground (soft)
1 (7)	Lord Bertie Bay J:Cian Horgan(3) T:David O'Meara	J:Cian Horgan(3) T:David O'Meara	142	h	650080	85	85	63	7d	—	—	+6	9.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%

C&D winner in June but the rest of his 2025 form is mostly duck eggs
13 (15)	Bay Breeze Bay J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Tim Easterby	J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Tim Easterby	128	p	541075	71	84	82	27d	—	—	+6	9.2	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Balance of form since May win suggests a supporting role is most likely

Spring novice form (7f) has substance; open to progress now handicapping
8 (9)	Art Design Bay J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(3) T:Julie Camacho	J:Tom Kiely-Marshall(3) T:Julie Camacho	133	—	1022-0	78	87	70	104d	—	—	+5	7.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
