in rear, slow jump 1st and swished tail from early, not always fluent jumping, ridden to dispute poor 2nd from 3 out, 3rd and no impression before 2 out, one pace
made all, slight mistake 3rd, clear from 8th, in command from before straight, stayed on well run-in, easily
raced in 3rd, dropped to last from 4 out and pushed along, behind and eased straight
raced in 2nd, slow jump 1st, joined for poor 2nd from 3 out, regained that position and no impression before 2 out, one pace
Ultimate Horseman is still carrying a penalty for his debut success in a bumper but has been well supported in all seven subsequent races. A bad mistake two out took the wind out of his sails last time but he's gone well over this trip on heavy ground so should be in the firing-line again. Catalaunian Fields ran his best race to date when runner-up in what looked a decent maiden at Cork earlier in the month and, with more to offer, looks likely to get into the frame though the vote goes to VICTORYROWE. He's yet to win but his recent run behind Shouband at Tramore shows he's going the right way and Stephen Gray's claim will again be a big help. Diva Dawn showed major improvement on just her second start over hurdles last time and isn't without a chance.
