In good form for new yard, including C&D; not ideally drawn but still holds solid claims
9 (2)	Mwafaq Bay J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	J:Ethan Tindall(7) T:Richard Fahey	126	p	645601	56	79	64	14d	—	—	-3	17.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Ready C&D win two weeks ago; up 6lb in stronger race but could well have more to offer
5 (4)	Amor Cordis Bay J:Edward Greatrex T:Warren Greatrex	J:Edward Greatrex T:Warren Greatrex	131	tb	454367	61	73	55	23d	—	—	-4	7.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
11-race maiden; short of best on last two starts and others appeal more for win purposes
3 (1)	Groundsman Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Mark Loughnane	J:Billy Loughnane T:Mark Loughnane	134	p	468651	64	74	46	34d	—	—	+4	17.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Off the mark over C&D five weeks ago (11th start); has left R Fahey since; well drawn
4 (5)	Miakoda Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	J:Pat Cosgrave T:James Owen	132	tv	121450	62	76	44	13d	—	—	-2	10.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Three 7f wins this year; not at best on last two starts; revival not out of the question
7 (10)	Blue Empress Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	128	b	074852	58	78	62	14d	—	—	0	9.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
0-15 but fully effective over C&D and ran well for second last time; draw dents confidence
2 (8)	Sands Of Havana Bay J:Donagh Murphy(7) T:Richard Hughes	J:Donagh Murphy(7) T:Richard Hughes	134	—	05-459	64	76	34	181d	—	—	-2	5.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not kicked on from her promising debut; returns for new yard after six months off
6 (6)	Kaleidoscope Eyes Bay J:Charlie Bennett T:Bernard Llewellyn	J:Charlie Bennett T:Bernard Llewellyn	128	—	748631	58	73	44	22d	—	—	+12	14.9	10.00/1	40/1 2%
C&D winner; off the mark for new yard at Ffos Las three weeks ago; up 3lb in a deeper race
8 (3)	Bantz Bay J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Gemma Tutty	J:Jake Dickson(7) T:Gemma Tutty	127	—	299588	57	78	46	24d	—	—	-1	2.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Big chance on 2025 best but he's gone right off the boil in more recent starts
10 (7)	Latona Bay J:William Pyle(3) T:Michael Appleby	J:William Pyle(3) T:Michael Appleby	116	hp	555594	46	74	57	13d	—	—	-2	0.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Unplaced in all 13 starts; return to 7f can help but others have stronger claims
