Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax last month; will stay further but looks firmly in the mix
7 (3)	Morshdi Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	128	—	21-1	111	120	107	29d	—	—	+12	31	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Won here on second start as 2yo and 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket four weeks ago; player

Sluggish 4th with tongue-tie in Classic Trial at Sandown; the form pick if he bounces back
2 (4)	Al Zanati Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Charlie Appleby	J:Billy Loughnane T:Charlie Appleby	128	—	121-2	106	119	102	20d	—	—	+11	22.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
11-2 for Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) and keeping on steadily from rear to be 2nd
5 (1)	Item Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:Andrew Balding	J:Colin Keane T:Andrew Balding	128	—	11-	93	103	78	226d	—	—	+22	29.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
2-2 as 2yo; a lot to find on ratings but a good prospect; looks sure to be suited by 1m2f+
8 (2)	Wise Prince Bay J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	1-3	104	117	100	20d	—	—	+19	25.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Kept on for third in Classic Trial at Sandown; could still be a good prospect
6 (8)	King's Trail Chestnut J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	128	—	1-19	101	117	102	12d	—	—	+15	21.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Likely to stay 1m2f but needs to prove that his run in 2,000 Guineas (13-2) was all wrong
4 (5)	Guildmaster Bay J:James Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	J:James Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	1-3	92	105	89	28d	—	—	+18	21.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Won debut; 3rd in Newmarket novice last month; requires a big step forward but early days
