#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
9 (6)	Queen Of Zafeen Bay J:William Buick T:Richard Hughes	J:William Buick T:Richard Hughes	125	—	11	93	109	84	28d	—	—	+5	38.4	0.34/1	11/8 42%
2-2, quickening impressively over C&D four weeks ago; this is tougher but she's promising
1 (8)	Orne Bay J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	135	—	141-2	100	107	52	19d	—	—	+2	24.2	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Group 3 winner at two; latest Doha 2nd can be upgraded; big player despite his penalty
4 (9)	Habrdi Bay J:Laura Pearson T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Laura Pearson T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	130	—	70111-	91	102	91	84d	—	—	+26	34.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Ended his 2yo campaign on a sharp upward curve; likely there's more to come this year
5 (3)	Lessay Bay J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	130	—	1-22	84	90	85	29d	—	—	+10	17.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
A win and two seconds from three 7f runs at Kempton this winter; this looks much deeper
7 (5)	Ahlain Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:James Tate	J:Rossa Ryan T:James Tate	125	—	716-1	83	103	81	29d	—	—	+14	20	2.75/1	11/1 8%
2-2 on AW, both over this trip at Kempton; this demands another surge of progress
3 (2)	Blown Away Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Hollie Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	130	b	1622-5	90	102	85	15d	—	—	+7	11.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Has some solid form on Polytrack but needs to step up on his latest run; stable runs two
6 (4)	Watch My Tracer Grey J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	130	—	17193-	95	105	-	179d	—	—	+19	22.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Of interest on his peak 2yo efforts; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust though
8 (7)	Betties Bay Bay J:Joshua Bryan T:Georgina Nicholls	J:Joshua Bryan T:Georgina Nicholls	125	—	0159-3	83	103	84	18d	—	—	+10	11.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
6f winner at two and shaped well on last month's return; 7f can suit but this demands more
2 (1)	Aljezur Bay J:Kyle Strydom T:Luke Dace	J:Kyle Strydom T:Luke Dace	130	—	242-35	80	88	75	25d	—	—	+7	7.7	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Likely he's better than a BHA mark of 80 but needs to be if he's to trouble the principals
10 (10)	Star Mind Bay J:Dylan Hogan T:Jack Jones	J:Dylan Hogan T:Jack Jones	125	p	513-16	74	90	58	14d	—	—	+6	6.1	50.00/1	200/1 0%
2-4 for this yard but looks out of her depth at this level
