led, ridden 2f out, headed and bumped by winner over 1f out, stayed on one pace
tracked leader, ridden to lead when edged left and bumped rival, driven all out
keen in touch, edged left over 5f out, ridden and headway inside final furlong, ran on, not quite reach winner
tracked leaders, ridden and switched right over 1f out, kept on one pace
in touch in rear, when short of room and unseated rider
dwelt keen raced wide, close up, ridden 2f out, hampered over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
All of these go handicapping for the first time. I'm A Gambler placed over 6f here in May when ahead of both Sir Min and subsequent course runner-up Rickenbacker while Mahagoni has won over 6f at Chepstow. Ever Given scored over the same trip in soft going at Ripon on his debut but RADIO CAROLINE has won over today’s distance at Haydock. The latter struggled in last month’s Chesham at Ascot but this looks more her level and Mick Channon’s filly will handle the soft ground.
