Won at Leicester on debut before a good third under a penalty at Salisbury; respected
2 (8)	Glitterati Bay J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	J:Luke Morris T:Archie Watson	134	—	6213	80	84	69	10d	—	—	+4	26.7	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Disappointing on AW latest but he's a key player on his easy win at Chepstow last month
8 (2)	Twilight Ballet Chestnut J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	130	—	3524	73	85	64	26d	—	—	-1	14.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Mixed form in his four runs but his close call at Lingfield puts him firmly in the picture
14 (3)	Heaven Knows Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Rae Guest	J:Callum Shepherd T:Rae Guest	125	—	03	-	77	63	21d	—	—	-6	6.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Promising third over C&D last month but he needs another major step forward
3 (11)	Curzon Bay J:Sean Levey T:Martyn Meade	J:Sean Levey T:Martyn Meade	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has speed on both sides of his pedigree and needs checking in market on debut
7 (13)	Jersey Maverick Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Charlie Fellowes	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Charlie Fellowes	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Out of a Group-placed 5f 2yo winner (stayed 7f; 99); needs checking in market on debut
9 (4)	Watchmaker Chestnut J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	J:Hector Crouch T:Michael Bell	130	—	5	-	64	32	24d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Made a low-key start at Pontefract and he could be one for longer trips later on
12 (7)	Silca Bay Bay J:George Downing T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:George Downing T:Eve Johnson Houghton	128	—	44	-	71	47	17d	—	—	-2	0.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
RPRs in the 50s in two runs last month and he needs plenty of improvement
11 (6)	Raavi Bay J:Paddy Bradley T:Ismail Mohammed	J:Paddy Bradley T:Ismail Mohammed	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.3	25.00/1	100/1 1%
15,000gns yearling; this looks a tough enough starting point and is probably best watched
4 (14)	D Day Harley R Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	130	—	06	-	68	38	11d	—	—	-1	0.2	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Well held at big prices in both his runs and nurseries will be more suitable
10 (12)	Infantry Officer Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:Michael Bell	J:Pat Cosgrave T:Michael Bell	128	—	99	-	53	27	19d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Half-brother to five winners but he's not shown much in his two runs so far
15 (9)	Roc d'Azur Bay J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	J:Rob Hornby T:Jonathan Portman	125	—	—	-	39	17	48d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
66-1 for her Newbury debut in June and was always in rear after a slow start
13 (10)	Top Biller Bay J:William Carver(3) T:Jamie Osborne	J:William Carver(3) T:Jamie Osborne	128	—	—	-	28	-	6d	—	—	0	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Finished tailed off at 66-1 on his Chelmsford debut (7f, AW) last Tuesday
NR (1)	Glentanar Chestnut J:TBC T:Alan King	J: T:Alan King	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has fair standard to aim at on debut and he could be a longer-term prospect
NR (15)	Huscal Chestnut J:TBC T:Charles Hills	J: T:Charles Hills	130	—	6	-	87	81	13d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Made a promising start at Glorious Goodwood and has leading claims on that form
