Suited by tracks with stiff finishes and won this last year; not to be underestimated
6 (3)	Quinault Bay J:Marco Ghiani T:Stuart Williams	J:Marco Ghiani T:Stuart Williams	135	t	73-213	111	120	112	16d	—	—	+7	18.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Front-runner; usually seen at 6f-7f but useful 5f run on AW in January; regular hood off
8 (2)	Shagraan Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	135	—	84121-	108	123	110	210d	—	—	+25	36.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Form spurt later in 2025 with Listed 5f wins (good to firm/soft); may yet progress again

13 (14)	Beckford's Folly Chestnut J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	129	—	1161-8	110	114	100	16d	—	—	+10	17.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Drop to 5f suited when beating good rival in C&D Group 3 as 2yo; respected on 2nd run back
2 (8)	Ain't Nobody Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Kevin Ryan	J:Ryan Moore T:Kevin Ryan	135	—	62007-	112	119	96	209d	—	—	+13	18.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%

Group 3 winner at 6f here in 2024; sole success since came in Listed company; win unlikely

Improved to win Group 3 (5f, good to soft) in September; this is a tough return
11 (1)	Miss Attitude Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Jack Channon	J:Billy Loughnane T:Jack Channon	132	tp	710-74	101	120	86	27d	—	—	+10	13.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%

An improver last May/June but wasn't the same filly after; plenty to find on these terms
