chased leaders until ridden over 3f out, weakened final 2f
led, clear after 5f, ridden over 2f out, headed over 1f out, weakened final furlong
tracked leader to lead over 1f out, ridden out inside final furlong
slowly into stride, soon held up towrads rear, headway 4f out, went 3rd 3 out, one-paced final furlong
held up in touch, ridden over 2f out, kept on but never dangerous
held up in rear, took closer order 4f out, ridden 3f out, well behind final 2f
Bailieborough and Talldark'n'andsome would both have solid claims in this 1m2f handicap if back to their best but with the respective stables of Ed Dunlop and Nick Littmoden struggling for form they are probably best passed over. This should then be a virtual match between two last time out winners, namely Orinocovsky and Diddymu. The former needed every yard of the mile when winning at Warwick last week while the former saw out today's trip well when successful at Bath. Both have similar claims under their 6lb penalties.
