9th	1	1	Baggie Boy (G) Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to Italian 6.7f-1¼m winner Faroujah. Dam unraced, closely related to very smart winner up to 1½m Kutub. Debutant looks worth a market check on paper.	9-68	Lewis Edmunds Jack Jones	2	60.3kg	23 22/1
1st	2	9	Free Your Spirit (C) Starman colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Love de Vega. Strong in the market but shaped as if in need of the experience (carried head awkwardly) when fourth of 5 in novice at Lingfield (8f…	41-	Billy Loughnane R Hughes	2	60.3kg	3.75 11/4
8th	3	7	Hamish Leek (G) Bated Breath gelding ran to a similar level as on debut when seventh of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/1) 26 days ago. Ought to progress at some stage, most likely in handicaps.	978-75	Rowan Scott James Horton	2	60.3kg	41 40/1
7th	4	10	Meritocratic (G) Showed more than first time up when 18/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) 26 days ago. Betting should offer clues with yard also saddling Hamish Leek.	967-53	George Wood James Horton	2	60.3kg	8 7/1
2nd	5	2	Okiru (G) Blue Point colt left debut form well behind when third of 9 in novice (22/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago, having run of race. Could take another step forward.	6U5724	L Morris A Watson	2	60.3kg	7 6/1
5th	6	5	Galileo Blue (C) FAV Makes some appeal on pedigree and knew much more than on debut when fourth of 10 in novice (28/1) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago, well positioned in steadily-run race. Entitled to give another good acco…	94	Cieren Fallon H Palmer	2	58.5kg	3.50 5/2
10th	7	6	Sunday Sinatra (G) Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good). Off 131 days and little appeal this side of handicaps.	000-386	Libby Swallow Ollie Sangster	2	58.5kg	151 150/1
3rd	8	8	Telling Time (G) Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f, 250/1). Off 180 days. First run for yard after leaving Mark Usher but likely to be a longer-term project.	982707	Jack Doughty C E Longsdon	2	58.5kg	41 40/1
6th	9	4	Backfire (F) Little win threat in two starts for Peter Chapple-Hyam. Will be better off in handicaps for new yard.	566-057	K T O'Neill S Dixon	2	56.2kg	29 28/1
4th	10	3	Sunshine And Roses (F) Placed 3 times on the all-weather prior to running right up to her best when creditable fourth of 8 in maiden at this C&D (2/1) 7 days ago, appearing unlucky having met trouble on the rail. Sets the …	944-071	Harry Davies J Channon	2	56.2kg	4.33 10/3
