made all, reached for 6th, shaken up between last 2, stayed on run-in
chased winner throughout, pushed along after 3 out, challenged 2 out, ridden and stayed on run-in, not quite pace to challenge
always last, outpaced when hit 6th, pushed along after 3 out, never on terms
Yet another small field in which THE SOME DANCE KID may do best and complete the hat-trick. His wins this season at Bangor have looked decent form whereas Skidoosh’s latest second at Leicester hasn’t worked out, though the latter does receive 11lb taking into account his rider’s claim. Mythical Prince is tried in blinkers but efforts so far over hurdles have been disappointing,
