12 (7)	Sure And Stedfast Bay J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Ewan Whillans	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Ewan Whillans	125	—	-84813	65	80	57	12d	—	—	+2	18.8	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Edged out Sophiesticate over C&D off a 2lb lower mark last month; one to consider
2 (1)	Tele Red Bay J:Sam Feilden(5) T:K R Burke	J:Sam Feilden(5) T:K R Burke	139	—	944626	71	83	74	14d	—	—	-5	14.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Hasn't won in almost two years and isn't quite as good now; remains consistent though
11 (4)	Sophiesticate Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Jim Goldie	128	—	/95525	60	84	66	19d	—	—	-4	10	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Well held at a short price down to 0-60 company here latest; capable if the mood takes
8 (8)	Obito Bay J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	135	h	237164	75	79	51	29d	—	—	+5	14.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Early days with him but will need to improve for the longer trip (not assured on pedigree)
4 (11)	Izzari Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	138	—	-18383	70	80	71	19d	—	—	+5	14.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Found 1m inadequate here last time; fair claims of giving his trainer another win in this
10 (2)	Whatacracker Chestnut J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:Mark Walford	129	t	334332	61	79	64	19d	—	—	+6	14.3	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Sole win came more than two years ago and been expensive to follow of late; tongue-tie on
5 (5)	Pol Roger Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	138	p	-53086	70	84	71	13d	—	—	+1	7.8	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Two wins, three seconds and a third to his name in nine runs over C&D; excuses of late
9 (3)	Idyllic Grey J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	J:Paula Muir(3) T:Wilf Storey	134	—	-51041	66	77	62	15d	—	—	+11	19.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Inconsistent; should be fine with the drop back in trip if in the same mood upped 3lb
3 (12)	Si Senior Bay J:Conor Orr(3) T:Patrick Magee	J:Conor Orr(3) T:Patrick Magee	138	ht	729178	70	79	60	11d	—	—	+8	12.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Excuses since her win off 5lb lower; improved for being upped to this trip; shortlisted
6 (9)	Glasses Up Chestnut J:Jason Hart T:R Mike Smith	J:Jason Hart T:R Mike Smith	135	—	111867	67	80	72	12d	—	—	+6	10.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Has 11 wins here; not in the same form lately, though, and this looks competitive enough
1 (10)	Starliner Bay J:Kaiya Fraser T:Linda Perratt	J:Kaiya Fraser T:Linda Perratt	141	—	221875	73	79	68	23d	—	—	+7	10.8	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Remains unexposed over tonight's longer trip and this is weaker, so he's one to consider
7 (6)	Bint Al Karama Bay J:Greg Fairley T:Iain Jardine	J:Greg Fairley T:Iain Jardine	135	t	316-89	67	77	23	12d	—	—	+3	4.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Two awful efforts over C&D this summer leave her hard to fancy in a first-time tongue-tie
