tracked leader, switched left to challenge over 2f out, led over 1f out, ridden clear, ran on strongly
prominent, every chance over 2f out, kept on same pace approaching final furlong
took keen hold, tracking leaders, effort over 2f out, soon weakened
led, hard driven when challenged over 2f out, headed over 1f out, no extra final furlong
awkward start, detached in rear, hung left and headway over 1f out, never a threat
THREE C'S has already been beaten four times but his form still looks to be head and shoulders above that of his four rivals in this as it includes seconds at Chester and Epsom and he was only beaten a length when favourite for a Carlisle nursery last month. Hidden Stash probably has most scope among the others but the Sakhee's Secret colt, a half-brother to two winners, will need to improve on a low-key debut at Newbury.
