led 1f, remained prominent, driven and every chance from 2f out, stayed on strongly to lead post
tracked leaders, outpaced over 2f out, never on terms
chased leaders, soon green and outpaced, weakened over 2f out, eased, moderate 4th
led after 1f, hard pressed from over 2f out, hard ridden entering final furlong, stayed on gamely, headed post
It's difficult to get past BANREENAHREENKAH in this after she finished third at Leicester on her recent debut. Denis Coakley's filly has little to fear from Al Emirati on the latter's eight-length defeat at Chepstow back in May so a newcomer could pose the biggest threat. Don Eduardo is a half-brother to a couple of two-year-old winners and on that basis makes more appeal than Honeymoon Express.
