Flopped last time but he'd been on the up beforehand; two solid course runs; considered
4 (5)	Simiyann Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	141	p	678449	61	66	43	14d	—	—	-11	8.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Exposed maiden but he's kept better company than this; not solid but the ability is there
3 (2)	Grand Duchess Olga Bay J:Dylan Hogan T:Julia Feilden	J:Dylan Hogan T:Julia Feilden	142	p	435613	62	66	56	79d	—	—	+1	18.6	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Conditions to suit and was running well when last seen in midsummer; shortlist material

C&D win off 2lb higher in May; mixed since but a change of headgear could perk her up

0-8 and flopped when favourite for first 2m run last month; needs to bounce back quickly
5 (7)	Dereham Bay J:David Egan T:John Berry	J:David Egan T:John Berry	136	—	7-0533	56	64	5	14d	—	—	-5	3.9	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Yet to win on AW but has shown an aptitude for this track; good efforts the last twice
