1st	2	5	Beagle Bay (G) FAV Showed plenty in a good maiden at Newbury last spring and landed the odds in a Chelmsford novice on return from 11-month absence. Had to concede weight to some promising 3-y-os when fourth of 12 at L…	2-1411	H Crouch R M Beckett	4	61.2kg	1.83 5/6
3rd	3	4	Physique (G) H Without a victory in 2025 but proved consistent for Pam Sly until a below-par effort at Goodwood in July. Back with former trainer this year and has had excuses both outings, stumbling at the start b…	003210	Grace McEntee M Fenton	6	60.8kg	8 7/1
