1 (11)	Bigtime Bridget Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	135	—	041	80	79	59	29d	—	—	-6	28.1	0.44/1	7/4 36%
Suited by the step up in trip when scoring over C&D four weeks ago; big player
3 (3)	Expected Arrival Brown J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	128	—	5	-	81	33	45d	—	—	-16	6.7	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Caught the eye when never-dangerous fifth on debut at Kempton; might be the answer.
2 (10)	The African Queen Chestnut J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	J:Franny Norton T:Charlie Johnston	131	—	193	70	80	66	35d	—	—	+2	17.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Third at Chelmsford last time suggested she was ready for this longer distance; big chance
7 (6)	Springbecamesummer Brown J:Callum Shepherd T:Michael Bell	J:Callum Shepherd T:Michael Bell	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Making her debut; quite a useful pedigree; likely to be suited by 1m2f+ in due course
10 (2)	Pegasus Of Harry Bay J:Harry Davies T:Marco Botti	J:Harry Davies T:Marco Botti	124	—	07	-	69	31	45d	—	—	-5	1.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Hasn't achieved much in two Kempton runs to date, 12l seventh of 12 on second occasion
5 (7)	Organic Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:George Boughey	J:Rossa Ryan T:George Boughey	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-7	2.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
48,000euros yearling; interesting newcomer for a yard that does well with its juveniles
4 (8)	La Fleur Petrus Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Charlie Johnston	J:Billy Garritty T:Charlie Johnston	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Newcomer; worth a market check with stable also responsible for The African Queen
12 (5)	Where Is The Love Bay J:Cameron Noble T:Joseph Parr	J:Cameron Noble T:Joseph Parr	124	—	06	-	75	40	21d	—	—	-3	1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Seemed to show some improvement when sixth over C&D at 250-1; could make the frame
11 (1)	Quick Away Bay J:Liam Keniry T:Kevin Frost	J:Liam Keniry T:Kevin Frost	124	—	66	-	50	-	156d	—	—	-1	0.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Well-held sixth both starts for Charlie Johnston; needs big improvement for change of yard
8 (4)	Spirit Charmer Bay J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Andrew Balding	J:Callum Hutchinson(3) T:Andrew Balding	126	—	00	-	57	29	10d	—	—	-1	0.2	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Has beaten just one rival in each of her two outings
6 (12)	Potters Diamond Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Matt Crawley	J:Joey Haynes T:Matt Crawley	128	—	7	-	-	-	58d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
200-1 and finished detached on debut; hard to fancy
NR (9)	Kingmont Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Harry Eustace	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Harry Eustace	124	—	5	-	72	31	30d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Very green on debut; improvement required but she could step up markedly on that form
