Penalised for Wednesday's Kempton win but Donagh Murphy's claim takes care of that

Has stamina to prove over this far and on the back of a backward step at Catterick

Has rather lost his way since winning on turf in April and others are safer

Ten-race maiden; never settled in a higher grade last time but bit to prove at 1m

Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen
9 (11)	Simba's Gift Bay J:Callum Rodriguez T:Clive Cox	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Clive Cox	133	—	757	62	67	14	31d	—	—	-1	4.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Positives to take from his middle run (7f) and should do better now into handicaps
11 (1)	Embarked Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	123	—	863102	48	73	46	5d	—	—	+8	12.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
1m turf winner three runs back and was second at Wolverhampton on Monday

Has only won a Brighton maiden in 25 starts and looks hard to predict

Perhaps mildly progressive and handicaps are now a better option
6 (10)	Claxton Bay Bay J:Phoebe Edwards(7) T:David Evans	J:Phoebe Edwards(7) T:David Evans	136	—	246320	61	71	54	105d	—	—	+5	8.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Not his true running at Bath last time and went close there the run before; fine on AW
