Progressive in three novices, but held in both handicaps; needs to turn things around
2 (5)	Kimnkate Bay J:Connor Planas(3) T:Richard Hughes	J:Connor Planas(3) T:Richard Hughes	135	b	121212	85	97	85	13d	—	—	+20	29.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Record since the blinkers went on reads 1121212; can't be dismissed in her current mood
12 (6)	De Bruyne Bay J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	J:Saffie Osborne T:Ed Walker	121	—	-67344	71	96	84	21d	—	—	0	9.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
In the frame in his last three starts; extra furlong should be within range

Runner-up in his last two outings; player from the same mark as for both of those efforts
3 (11)	Gulmarg Bay J:David Egan T:S Woods	J:David Egan T:S Woods	134	p	333272	84	95	89	23d	—	—	+11	19.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Placed in eight of his ten starts since his last win; each-way claims again

Two wins over this trip earlier in year, but held in last three starts; hood on

Steadily progressive last year; makes handicap debut after almost a year off; watch market
5 (10)	Havana Pusey Bay J:Jamie Spencer T:John Gallagher	J:Jamie Spencer T:John Gallagher	133	—	214366	83	93	86	13d	—	—	+8	13.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Out of the frame in her last two starts; wouldn't be sure to appreciate 7f on breeding
11 (12)	Starlight Nation Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Clive Cox	J:Callum Shepherd T:Clive Cox	124	—	376419	74	94	90	73d	—	—	+10	14.2	3.75/1	16 6%
Off the mark at Leicester in June but well held next time; off 73 days since; watch market

Latest Epsom third was one of his better recent efforts, but he has become inconsistent
10 (2)	Liberty Chestnut J:Marco Ghiani T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Marco Ghiani T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	126	—	7-25	76	92	76	24d	—	—	+4	7.5	6.75/1	28 4%
Just beaten on reappearance but well held last time; worth a second look on handicap debut
