Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
6th	1	11	Barachiel (G) Showed some ability in bumpers but was much too free when fifth of 12 making Flat debut in a novice over 11f here last month. Now drops back in trip and is very hard to fancy.	566	L Morris R Stephens	5	62.6kg	151 150/1
11th	2	8	Secret Message (G) Pulled hard and showed little in bumper for Michael Attwater in July. Now starts out for a new yard on the Flat with little to recommend.	08	Daniel Muscutt N P Littmoden	4	62.6kg	201 200/1
2nd	3	7	Assiri Heights (C) T 700,000 gns buy who hasn't yet lived up to expectations in 2 starts, though did achieve a bit more when sixth of 10 at Southwell on return from 13 months off last time. Now tongue tied but plenty mor…	9-624	Oisin Murphy A M Balding	3	60.3kg	8 7/1
10th	4	12	Electric Gambler (G) T Bit more promise when fifth of 9 in a novice at Southwell 24 days ago when still learning, but handicaps after another outing will likely be more his thing.	7506	Jason Watson J & A O'Neill	3	60.3kg	301 300/1
7th	5	9	Emerald Spirit (G) €31,000 yearling, 1,000 gns 2-y-o. Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-2m winner In The Breeze and 9f winner In The Field. Likely to need this experience.	78	Paddy Bradley D M Loughnane	3	60.3kg	251 250/1
1st	6	2	Mercantile (G) FAV Well bred and shaped with plenty of promise when second of 10 in a novice at Southwell over 1m on debut last month. Has Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle and is one to take seriously with tha…	2	Billy Loughnane D & C Kubler	3	60.3kg	1.50 1/2
9th	7	6	Open To Offers (G) Only showed greenness when well beaten both starts to date, including on return from 10 months off 13 days ago. Hard to fancy.	8-790	Edward Greatrex W Greatrex	3	60.3kg	201 200/1
5th	8	1	Oro Palacio (G) Had benefit of an easy lead when improved fifth of 12 in a maiden over C&D in January. Absent since but the form of that race has worked out extremely well so he's worth a glance in the betting.	9-55	D Egan B J Meehan	3	60.3kg	21 20/1
4th	9	10	Sea Brave (G) Runner-up both starts to date but recent second of 7 here 14 days ago wasn't as good as his debut effort 8 months previously. May strip fitter for that outing, though, and the return to 1m could also…	2-24	Finley Marsh R Hughes	3	60.3kg	5.50 9/2
—	10	4	Ze Gucci Poochie (G) Tailed off both starts and is impossible to fancy.	090	Alice Bond Martin Dunne	3	60.3kg	201 200/1 Sky B… 201 Betfa… 201 Paddy… 201
3rd	11	5	Protectrix (F) Down field both starts to date and is likely being brought along with handicaps in mind.	7631	Kieren Fox J Butler	3	58.1kg	401 400/1
8th	12	3	Venetian Sky (F) Not won in 6 starts for top yard but shaped quite well in race not run to suit when second of 5 in a handicap at Leicester last month. Back in maiden company with a reasonable standard of form to her…	445284	Tom Marquand W J Haggas	3	58.1kg	5.50 9/2
