Short of room at crucial stage when placed over C&D last month; high on list

Yet to win for new stable this year but ran well in defeat over C&D last month
6 (10)	Golden Valour Bay J:Kaiya Fraser T:R Mike Smith	J:Kaiya Fraser T:R Mike Smith	130	—	034448	49	63	58	26d	—	—	-12	5.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Below form last time but made the frame four times in a row at Ayr beforehand

Not at best here last month but this three-time C&D winner is back on last winning mark

Seems best suited by stiffer tracks but can't be ruled out off current mark
5 (3)	Martin's Brig Bay J:Rhys Elliott(3) T:David Thompson	J:Rhys Elliott(3) T:David Thompson	130	b	197352	49	63	48	17d	—	0W/0P 1 run	0	9.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Second in 7f Catterick classified last month; might be vulnerable after recent 3lb rise
3 (2)	Scarriff Chestnut J:Alfie Redman(7) T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Alfie Redman(7) T:Rebecca Menzies	133	v	461268	52	64	58	18d	—	—	+1	7.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Course winner this summer; needs to better her last couple of efforts, though
7 (6)	Spring Festival Bay J:Oisin McSweeney T:David O'Meara	J:Oisin McSweeney T:David O'Meara	129	tv	735728	48	62	46	15d	—	—	0	5.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Went close two starts ago but this 16-race maiden is too inconsistent to rely upon
10 (11)	Yellow Lemons Bay J:Amie Waugh T:Katie Scott	J:Amie Waugh T:Katie Scott	126	p	-67608	45	62	52	19d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
11-race maiden who has not shown much on her three starts for Katie Scott this summer

Without a win since May 2023, and her form over the last two seasons is not good enough
