King's Charisma completed a hat-trick over shorter trips before well beaten over today’s distance at York, albeit in better company than this. Fiveandtwenty has won three of her last four outings but is penalised for last week’s victory at Musselburgh. KENSINGTON ART has been competing over 2m since scoring over 1m6f at Ripon in July. Only 2lb higher for this, the latter gets another chance and is preferred to Herman Hesse, who missed an engagement in a lower grade at Ayr yesterday. Both The Navigator and Euro Implosion failed to figure in the same race at Thirsk last time and the latter is now fitted with headgear.
The Navigator 14-1 (9-11) Held up towards rear, edged left and plugged on final 2f, never dangerous, 5th of 8, 9 1/2l behind Zeeband (9-0) at Thirsk 1m 6f hcp (3) gs in Sep.
Fiveandtwenty 2-1 (8-9) Made all, ridden 3f out, stayed on, won well, won at Musselburgh 1m 6f hcp (4) gf in Sep beating Akamanto (9-8) by 2 1/4l, 4 ran.
Euro Implosion (IRE) 7-1 (9-1) Led 4f, chased leader, ridden over 3f out, lost 2nd 3f out, weakened quickly over 2f out, 7th of 8, dist behind Zeeband (9-0) at Thirsk 1m 6f hcp (3) gs in Sep.
Kensington Art 50-1 (9-4) Tracked leaders on outside, led 3f out until 2f out, ridden and lost 2nd over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong, 4th of 14, 7 1/4l behind Frankenstella (9-0) at York 2m hcp (4) gd in Sep.
Herman Hesse 33-1 (9-1) Prominent, going well down centre and narrowly led over 2f out, headed over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong, 4th of 11, 3 3/4l behind Billy No Mates (9-11) at Haydock 1m 6f hcp (5) sft in Sep.
King's Charisma (IRE) 25-1 (8-5) In rear, ridden and headway 2f out, never nearer, 7th of 14, 12 1/4l behind Coltrane (8-8) at York 1m 6f hcp (2) gs in Aug.
