All wins at 7f; good 3rd off this mark two weeks ago; should be fully effective at a mile
2 (4)	Midnight Lion br Lauren Young(5) · Jim Goldie	Lauren Young(5) · Jim Goldie	136	—	156156	83	94	70	7d	—	—	+2	17.7	4/1 20%
Six wins in 2025, the latest over 7f here last month; not quite so good twice this month

Both wins at 6f but stays 7f; whether he wants this far remains to be seen though
1 (5)	Moon Beginnings ch Sam James · David Loughnane	Sam James · David Loughnane	139	—	12	87	90	74	22d	—	—	+10	25.7	5/1 17%

Thriving in recent months and latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run
8 (1)	Lessay b Ryan Kavanagh(5) · Patrick Morris	Ryan Kavanagh(5) · Patrick Morris	120	p	686512	67	93	74	7d	—	—	+9	18.9	9/1 10%
Arrives in good form (7f) and fully effective over a mile; this a step up in class though
7 (7)	Starliner b Kaiya Fraser · Linda Perratt	Kaiya Fraser · Linda Perratt	124	—	757736	71	93	-	82d	—	—	+3	9	16/1 6%
Blew hot and cold after his Hamilton win in May; others look more convincing after a break
