with leaders, not much room over 4f out, ridden over 2f out, faded inside final furlong
in rear, ridden over 1f out, never dangerous
prominent, went 2nd over 2f out, ridden and not much room over 1f out, one pace

A case can be made for most of these so only a speculative vote goes the way of JOHNNY B GOODE. Richard Fahey's charge is now back on a winning mark and may well take advantage having finished second at Haydock last time. Special Venture has a shout after placing at Chester and Go Dan Go remains in fine form having scored over a mile here on his latest start. Classic Seniority and Mythmaker have been thereabouts over 6f of late and Sur Empire went close off today's mark at Musselburgh early last month.
