Today’s going will be fast enough for Remember The Days, a runner-up in testing ground at Ripon last month. Sempre Presto has failed to build on an earlier neck defeat at Pontefract and has subsequently finished behind ZIHAAM at the same track. A winner over 1m2f at Beverley since, the latter gets another chance only 3lb higher today. Course regular The Navigator has shown his best over shorter trips so far and the remaining pair make even less appeal.
The Navigator 25-1 (9-2) Always in rear, 13th of 16, 10l behind Rousayan (9-7) at Carlisle 1m hcp (4) gf in Jun.
Remember The Days (IRE) 6-1 (9-7) In touch, headway 5f out, ridden and every chance 2f out, kept on one pace, 2nd of 6, 3 3/4l behind Appointed (9-5) at Ripon 1m 4f hcp (5) sft in Jun.
Diodorus (IRE) 40-1 (9-7) Held up in mid-division, headway chasing leaders over 3f out, no extra inside final furlong, 6th of 19, 6l behind Auxiliary (8-13) at York 1m 4f hcp (4) sft in Jun.
Sempre Presto (IRE) 28-1 (9-1) Switched left start, held up towards rear, headway in centre chasing leaders over 2f out, soon ridden, no extra inside final furlong, 5th of 19, 5 1/2l behind Auxiliary (8-13) at York 1m 4f hcp (4) sft in Jun.
Orange Suit (IRE) 10-1 (8-7) Tracked leader, ridden over 1f out, faded inside final furlong, 8th of 11, 7 1/4l behind The Pinto Kid (8-13) at Kempton 1m 3f hcp (4) pol in Jun.
Zihaam 9-2 (9-0) Pushed along leaving stalls, towards rear, pushed along 4f out, never dangerous, 5th of 7, 6 3/4l behind Celestial Force (9-9) at Beverley 1m 4f hcp (5) gs in Jun.
