chased leaders, ridden and went 2nd inside final furlong, ran on to lead close home
soon led, ridden and pressed 2f out, headed over 1f out, lost 2nd inside final furlong, kept on same pace in 4th
chased leaders on inside, ridden and kept on same pace inside final furlong
slowly away, off the pace in mid-division, plugging on when ran green and edged left inside final furlong, held when short of room and eased in closing stages
edgy and difficult loading, chased leader, ridden to lead over 1f out, edged left inside final furlong, headed and no extra close home
slowly into stride, green and outpaced in rear, never a factor
dwelt, outpaced towards rear, never on terms
chased leaders on outside, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace inside final furlong
chased leaders, pushed along and outpaced halfway, never dangerous after
Captain Hawk and Masquerade Bling both failed to back up debuts of promise and are probably best watched although more was certainly expected from the former when sent on the long trek to Ayr from Lambourn. He'd be of interest if the money comes for him again. Restore showed little on debut but it's dangerous to ignore any representative of the Hannon juvenile army which is also represented by newcomer DESERT MARK. Stable inmates usually improve considerably for their first run but this doesn't look the strongest of contests on paper and the son of Approve is a speculative choice. Tom Dascombe and Clive Cox both have their strings in good heart at present and both are capable of readying one first time which brings Big Time Baby and Kodiline, sons of Dandy Man and Kodiac respectively, into the argument.
