chased leader, ridden and every chance over 1f out, no extra towards finish
slowly into stride, last pair, never on terms
outpaced in rear, headway on outside over 2f out and wide on home turn, chasing leaders when bumped over 1f out, hung right inside final furlong, weakened towards finish
slowly into stride, soon chasing leaders on outside ridden to challenge when hung both ways over 1f out, weakened towards finish
chased leaders on inside, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace inside final furlong, went 3rd towards finish
led, ridden over 1f out, kept on well until headed and no extra final 110 yards
held up in touch, headway between horses over 1f out, ran on to lead final 110 yards, soon clear
held up and keen, never a factor
Indian Pursuit bids for a hat-trick carrying 6lb extra for last week’s success over track and trip. Capla Demon won at Leicester before beaten off today’s mark at Ffos Las and IT’S ALL A JOKE gets another chance in this. The latter won at Dundalk earlier this year and finished runner-up over today’s distance at Kempton on his first start for Archie Watson. Dreamboat Annie has been thereabouts lately and is preferred to Blessed To Empress.
