held up off the pace in last pair, steady headway before 4 out, chased leaders 2 out, left in lead at the last, driven clear run-in
Another handicap with little strength-in-depth. Jockey bookings suggest Supreme Steel is preferred to stablemate Hidden Glen but TUMBLING DICE won over track and trip on similar going 12 days ago and can confirm that form with third Hidden Cargo, despite worse terms. Sedgefield winner No Cruise Yet looks a danger having come up against an improver here last month while Melanamix has every chance against the selection on collateral form, though will have stamina to prove.
