chased leaders on rail, went 2nd over 1f out, ridden to lead inside final furlong, ran on well
led until 2f out, chased leaders and hung left from over 1f out, 3rd and no impression final furlong
soon chasing leader, led 2f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, weakened entering final furlong
raced keenly tracking leaders, led over 1f out, ridden and headed inside final furlong, stayed on same pace, no chance with winner
off the pace in last pair, never on terms
fly-jumped and went right leaving stalls, pulled hard and raced awkwardly in rear, ridden and no response over 1f out, never a factor

The progressive OOH IS IT was helped by an apprentice’s allowance when completing a double with a victory at Windsor but he still won with plenty in hand and may well defy a further rise in the weights. Glamorous Breeze has been raised 7lb for a recent win at Chepstow but Holbache makes less appeal having won over 6f at Brighton while Enduring and Chipstead are others dropping down to the minimum trip.
