Merely sixth on AW last Saturday but turf may be preferable; won on grass last month
8 (7)	Quest For Fun Chestnut J:Rhys Elliott(3) T:Tim Easterby	J:Rhys Elliott(3) T:Tim Easterby	135	t	851722	78	94	73	10d	—	—	+9	22.1	1.50/1	6/1 14%
In good form and has a strong record at York; every chance he'll be bang there
11 (6)	Yaaser Bay J:Kaiya Fraser T:Jim Goldie	J:Kaiya Fraser T:Jim Goldie	134	—	444700	77	93	79	20d	—	—	-1	9.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Below par on last two runs but on soft ground; on a handy mark judged on July form here
14 (8)	Sky Advocate Grey J:Jack Callan(3) T:Clive Cox	J:Jack Callan(3) T:Clive Cox	134	v	628324	79	91	76	20d	—	—	+6	15.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
0-11 and the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious plus but he's been showing promise; visored
6 (3)	Vixey Bay J:Aiden Brookes T:Simon West	J:Aiden Brookes T:Simon West	135	—	312121	78	91	72	28d	—	—	+24	31.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Four wins this year, the last two at Chester, and the latest has received a strong boost
13 (14)	Feel The Need Bay J:Zak Wheatley T:Michael Herrington	J:Zak Wheatley T:Michael Herrington	134	—	883064	77	90	84	12d	—	—	+2	9.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has some good C&D form, including a win in June, and he's in with a chance
9 (19)	Candonomore Bay J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Tim Easterby	J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Tim Easterby	135	tp	945041	78	97	67	12d	—	—	+13	18.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Won by 4l at Newcastle (7f, AW) recently; tough to beat under penalty if backing that up
4 (11)	Native Instinct Bay J:Archie Young(3) T:Edward Bethell	J:Archie Young(3) T:Edward Bethell	135	—	1-7326	80	89	84	54d	—	—	+10	16.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Close second at Catterick two starts ago but on slow ground, which looks unlikely today
17 (4)	U Sure Do Bay J:Amie Waugh T:Tim Easterby	J:Amie Waugh T:Tim Easterby	133	—	340412	78	90	84	20d	—	—	+14	20.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Second of 14 when back up to 7f at Ayr last month and this 3yo is not ruled out
22 (12)	Ziggy's Condor Brown J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	130	v	030562	73	94	80	13d	—	—	+8	12.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Went close at Southwell recently but over 6f, which may be his optimum trip
19 (20)	Pal Joey Brown J:Lauren Young(5) T:Ben Haslam	J:Lauren Young(5) T:Ben Haslam	132	t	935185	77	88	72	24d	—	—	+9	13.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Lightly raced 3yo who has been campaigned at 6f in handicaps; the return to 7f could suit
15 (13)	Nyman Bay J:Cian Horgan(3) T:Roger Fell	J:Cian Horgan(3) T:Roger Fell	133	—	430224	78	88	64	50d	—	—	+11	14.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Running well in defeat for Henry de Bromhead; could have a part to play on stable debut
20 (22)	Havana Prince Grey J:Mohammed Tabti(3) T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	J:Mohammed Tabti(3) T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	131	—	172480	74	91	76	20d	—	—	+5	8.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Well beaten at Ayr last time but ran well in big field over C&D in July; not ruled out e-w
3 (2)	Silent Move Bay J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Richard Fahey	J:Warren Fentiman(3) T:Richard Fahey	135	—	002585	78	91	80	6d	—	—	+6	9.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
He's failed to shine on last two runs but with surface excuses; in good heart previously
18 (15)	Little Empire Bay J:Elizabeth Gale(5) T:Anthony McCann	J:Elizabeth Gale(5) T:Anthony McCann	133	—	24-241	76	94	71	142d	—	—	+4	7.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Won at Ayr in May; absent since but this progressive 5yo could play another leading role
10 (18)	Highfield Viking Bay J:Sam Feilden(5) T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Sam Feilden(5) T:John & Sean Quinn	134	b	331125	77	88	80	20d	—	—	+16	19.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Progressive run came to a halt last time but he maybe did too much too soon
12 (10)	Another Investment Bay J:Alex Jary T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Alex Jary T:Nigel Tinkler	134	—	510007	77	91	73	28d	—	—	+6	9.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Took step back in right direction at Doncaster but that seems to be his favourite course
2 (16)	Paws For Thought Bay J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Donald McCain	J:Charlie Maggs(3) T:Donald McCain	136	—	892731	79	89	77	20d	—	—	+19	21.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won at Chester three weeks ago but that course brings out the best in him
5 (5)	Nordic Norm Bay J:Jack Nicholls(3) T:K R Burke	J:Jack Nicholls(3) T:K R Burke	135	—	12609B	80	86	47	35d	—	—	+6	9.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Good start to career in February/March but hasn't been able to fulfil that promise
16 (21)	Enola Grey Grey J:William Pyle T:Gemma Tutty	J:William Pyle T:Gemma Tutty	133	—	302559	76	88	61	24d	—	—	+6	8.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Didn't run badly at Redcar after a break but the AW may be her preferred scene
7 (9)	Maxi Boy Bay J:Conor Orr T:Fionn McSharry	J:Conor Orr T:Fionn McSharry	135	—	0017-3	78	85	54	28d	—	—	+8	10.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Respectable third on recent, belated reappearance at Chester and could build on that run
21 (17)	Roaring Twenties Bay J:Ashley Lewis(5) T:Craig Lidster	J:Ashley Lewis(5) T:Craig Lidster	131	—	385	76	85	38	29d	—	—	+7	8.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Handicap newcomer who has failed to build on promise of debut third in April
