close up, not clear run and short of room from over 1f out, never able to challenge
tracked leaders, ridden to press winner when edged right inside final furlong, not quicken close home
made all, ridden 2f out, edged left inside final furlong, held on gamely
in rear, ridden 2f out, ran on final furlong, nearest finish
keen raced wide close up, ridden over 2f out, weakened final furlong
All of these make their handicap debuts but SEAELLA won a seller at York before placing behind the unbeaten Poetic Steps and she may prove good enough. The latter is trained by Mark Johnston and he runs Go Now Go Now, who was still beaten four lengths when runner-up at Ripon earlier. Richard Fahey is represented by Wolverhampton third Crownthorpe and Faradays Spark, who landed a seller over today’s trip at Ripon last month, while Felisa may prove best of the remainder.
