Three-time Group 3 winner; fine run in the Nunthorpe latest; solid claims despite penalty

Ready win at Listed level last month; drying ground would help but others look stronger
5 (9)	Montassib Chestnut J:Cieren Fallon T:William Haggas	J:Cieren Fallon T:William Haggas	129	—	16115-	114	124	115	336d	—	—	+20	34	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Group 1 winner last year; absent 11 months and 5f is a major concern on his return

Comes here in the form of her life but 5f/Group 3 penalty could leave her vulnerable

Looks good on his day, as when quickening well at Ascot in July; this demands even more
4 (1)	Kerdos Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Clive Cox	J:Hector Crouch T:Clive Cox	129	—	755804	102	118	101	21d	—	—	+7	15.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ran well at Royal Ascot but it hasn't been a springboard to better things; risky for now
10 (8)	First Instinct Brown J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	125	—	313254	100	122	107	21d	—	—	+13	19.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Listed winner but even her best efforts leave her with something to find

Progressive last year and started this campaign well; big dip in form on last two starts

Promising stable debut in April but no progress since; others bring more pressing claims
11 (6)	Queen All Star Bay J:Finley Marsh T:Jack Channon	J:Finley Marsh T:Jack Channon	125	—	3-1101	96	119	102	28d	—	—	+11	14.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
4-6, recording useful RPR in Goodwood handicap latest; not finished progressing yet
