3 (1)	Classic Encounter Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	134	—	553-12	83	97	74	14d	—	—	-22	23.3	0.30/1	6/5 45%
Lightly raced 4yo for whom things have clicked again this season; strong contender
1 (8)	Mythical Guest Bay J:Tom Queally T:George Margarson	J:Tom Queally T:George Margarson	135	—	840-32	84	99	75	17d	—	—	-8	15.8	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Both wins over 1m2f (one here) but in good form at 1m this spring and could be in the mix
4 (3)	Good Morning Alex Bay J:Luke Catton(5) T:David & Nicola Barron	J:Luke Catton(5) T:David & Nicola Barron	132	—	664-61	81	95	80	21d	—	—	0	10.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Dead-heated for first at Ripon last time; this prominent-racer can make another bold bid
7 (2)	Royal Velvet Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:William Knight	J:Cieren Fallon T:William Knight	127	—	1565-4	76	95	84	16d	—	—	-1	9.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Reappeared with creditable fourth at Yarmouth; likes it there but she's not ruled out
2 (4)	Helm Rock Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	J:Richard Kingscote T:Daniel & Claire Kubler	134	tb	-83369	83	97	73	29d	—	—	+6	12.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Without a win on grass since 2022 but ran well in the Spring Mile and not ruled out e-w
8 (5)	City Of York Bay J:Jamie Spencer T:David Simcock	J:Jamie Spencer T:David Simcock	123	h	5238-0	72	95	85	29d	—	—	+1	7.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
0-10 last year and well beaten on reappearance, but not discounted off a handy mark
6 (7)	Redhot Whisper Bay J:Daniel Muscutt T:B F Brookhouse	J:Daniel Muscutt T:B F Brookhouse	128	ht	343-36	77	94	83	84d	—	—	+3	8.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Well handicapped on peak form but below par this year and now 0-11; others more compelling
NR (6)	Where's Freddy Chestnut J:Luke Morris T:Stuart Williams	J:Luke Morris T:Stuart Williams	130	tp	56-142	79	96	84	51d	—	—	—	7.3	—	—
Effective here and good second on AW in March last time; he's one to consider
