#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
9 (2)	Lost Boys Chestnut J:Jason Watson T:David Menuisier	J:Jason Watson T:David Menuisier	119	—	331-1	89	114	98	22d	—	—	+4	26.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Up 6lb since his narrow 1m2f win at Sandown but should have more improvement in him
6 (11)	Sahara King Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	125	—	1-52	95	116	106	13d	—	—	+6	23.3	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Only just behind My Love Is King over C&D; creditable 2nd of five in handicap at Newmarket
7 (5)	Al Azd Chestnut J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	122	b	-22211	92	117	102	21d	—	—	+22	36.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Up 7lb and back in trip (a concern) but he's got his act together and is on a hat-trick
11 (4)	Sintra Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Andrew Balding	J:Hollie Doyle T:Andrew Balding	114	—	3231	84	112	92	7d	—	—	+16	27.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
9lb higher today, including 4lb out of handicap, but Ascot win came in pretty taking style
2 (8)	Port Of Spain Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	133	p	31537-	103	109	98	202d	—	—	+12	21.5	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Came up short on last three 2yo races but they were all Group events; 1m2f+ can suit
5 (10)	Tierra Del Toro Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	125	—	212-	95	111	67	239d	—	—	+20	28	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Gelded; makes his reappearance but 1m2f+ should be a big help, so he's one to note
3 (6)	Spyce Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Alan King	J:Rossa Ryan T:Alan King	130	—	214-5	100	111	95	22d	—	—	+8	14.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
May have needed Gr3 reappearance run and could be of more interest on this handicap debut
1 (3)	Bourbon Blues Bay J:William Buick T:Brian Meehan	J:William Buick T:Brian Meehan	135	—	5322-3	105	109	95	31d	—	—	+13	18.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Progressive as 2yo and ran creditably on reappearance but he should be relatively exposed
8 (1)	Capall Rasa Bay J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	122	—	3811-4	92	111	95	22d	—	—	+7	11.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1)
10 (7)	Pearl River Bay J:Sam Hitchcott T:Richard Hannon	J:Sam Hitchcott T:Richard Hannon	114	—	5431-5	84	106	98	18d	—	—	+7	9.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Not discredited in Listed race on return; 2lb wrong; needs to resume marked improvement
NR (9)	My Love Is King Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:John & Thady Gosden	J:NON-RUNNER T:John & Thady Gosden	126	p	1-22	96	117	-	15d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—
2nd in hot C&D novice and in Newmarket Listed race; may well have been let in lightly
