1 (1)	Giant Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Richard Spencer	J:Hollie Doyle T:Richard Spencer	135	p	64954-	80	92	83	80d	—	—	-6	13.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
7f specialist who races prominently; should make a bold bid from the inside stall
9 (2)	Thapa Vc Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Mark Rimell	J:Jack Mitchell T:Mark Rimell	131	tb	27262-	76	93	80	25d	—	—	+3	20	1.00/1	4/1 20%
AW stalwart; four successes here and likely to go well in a bid for a fifth
8 (6)	Lessay Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ed Dunlop	131	v	56255-	76	94	76	27d	—	—	-1	13	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fifth twice since joining this yard; first-time visor could have a positive effect
2 (4)	Billy Mill Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Rod Millman	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Rod Millman	135	—	108-05	80	91	57	14d	—	—	-3	11.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%

C&D second on Boxing Day and two below-par runs since are best overlooked; in the mix
4 (11)	Riot Bay J:Jason Watson T:David O'Meara	J:Jason Watson T:David O'Meara	135	tv	5336-0	80	91	79	14d	—	—	+3	9.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%

11 (10)	He's A Gentleman Grey J:Joe Leavy(3) T:Hugo Palmer	J:Joe Leavy(3) T:Hugo Palmer	129	—	29584-	74	90	74	27d	—	—	+1	9.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
None too consistent in 2024 and ended year with four unplaced efforts; others preferred
7 (7)	Follow Your Heart Bay J:Luke Morris T:Mark Loughnane	J:Luke Morris T:Mark Loughnane	132	t	68157-	77	93	71	30d	—	—	+6	14.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%

9yo; not the force of old but falling in the weights and not disgraced on latest start
12 (5)	Starshiba Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:Jack Morland	J:Daniel Muscutt T:Jack Morland	129	tv	2361-5	74	89	80	16d	—	—	+2	7.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
