tracked leader, keen, lost place over 3f out
tracked leaders, driven to challenge over 2f out, weakened entering final furlong
held up in touch, headway over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
made all, driven clear inside final furlong, easily
slowly into stride, held up in rear but in touch, headway over 2f out, chased winner approaching final furlong, never a threat
John Gosden boasts a fine strike rate at this venue and HAMEEM is taken to finally open her account. She found one too good yet again at Kempton recently but was returning from a lay-off and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Saffira with that run under her belt. The latter looks the biggest threat with Rose Crown failing to trouble the winner when third at Windsor and Moving Mountains and Seaesta making even less appeal.

Rose Crown 50-1 (9-4) Tracked leaders on outside, 3rd and well held final furlong, 3rd of 9, 5 3/4l behind Midi (9-2) at Windsor 1m 2f stks (5) gf in Aug.
Seaesta 25-1 (9-0) Difficult loading, raced keenly, chased leaders, ridden and weakened over 1f out, 9th of 12, 9 1/4l behind Pichola Dance (9-0) at Kempton 7f mdn fll stks (5) pol in Sep.
