raced keenly, slight lead until 3f out, pressed leader, ridden to lead again over 1f out, stayed on strongly to draw clear final 150 yards
chased leading pair, pushed along 3f out, ridden and weakened over 1f out, soon dropped to 4th
slowly into stride, soon outpaced and always behind
dwelt, soon chasing leaders, ridden and went 3rd entering final furlong
pressed winner, led narrowly 3f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, no extra final 150 yards
Clodovil Doll never looked like catching the winner when third at Thirsk last time. She may do better in today's soft ground but MAJESTIC HERO is also expected to improve. The latter raced up with the pace for most of his debut at Leicester before fading in the closing stages and both of his winning relatives scored with cut in the ground. Ron Harris' colt gets the nod while Nona Blu is a half-brother to a 5f winner and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
