chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, never on terms
led 2f, steadied into 3rd, effort over 2f out, kept on same pace
pressed leader, keen, led after 2f, sent clear over 2f out, headed and no extra close home
in touch, headway to chase leader over 5f out, outpaced over 2f out, stayed on under pressure to lead closing stages
very slowly away, held up, never dangerous
LUCKY NUMBER got his head in front here earlier this month and William Haggas’ grey is probably worth sticking with, despite an 8lb hike in the weights. It won’t be easy, however, as Conspiritor went well here last month on similar going. Abr Al Hudood may well do better now handicapping but Tell William is blinkered after disappointing at Salisbury. Lolita Pulido may not have trained on.
