#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (6)	Monoceros Bay J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	137	—	13	87	87	73	16d	—	—	-2	28.6	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Both runs over 7f, posting a win and a staying-on third; the new trip looks a firm plus
5 (5)	Dark Shore Grey J:Rossa Ryan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Rossa Ryan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	128	h	522	78	92	86	28d	—	—	-4	23.9	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Runner-up on last two starts; begins handicap life on a fair mark and could improve
6 (2)	Gold Dawn Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	J:Oisin Murphy T:Hugo Palmer	127	v	29552	77	87	80	14d	—	—	0	18	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Positive performances over 7f in both nurseries & 1m is worth a go; might not be far away
2 (3)	Big Song Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Harry Charlton	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Harry Charlton	134	—	415	84	86	54	27d	—	—	+10	17.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Won at Epsom on second run then reportedly slipped when only 5th at Thirsk; not ruled out
4 (4)	Loblolly Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:S Woods	J:Billy Loughnane T:S Woods	131	—	68221	81	92	55	22d	—	—	+18	25.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
In good heart on AW of late but needs to prove he's just as effective on turf
3 (1)	Miss Honey Bay J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	131	—	18	81	87	18	93d	—	—	+11	16.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Won on AW on debut then disappointing 13 days later; could bounce back following break
7 (7)	Indigo Dawn Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	124	—	1059	74	86	72	13d	—	—	+7	9.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
This step up to 1m may suit but not easy to fancy on evidence of her two nursery runs
