chased winner, ridden over 1f out, no extra and lost 2nd inside final furlong
made all, shaken up and asserted over 1f out, always in command
held up behind leaders, shaken up 2f out, went 2nd and ridden inside final furlong, soon edged right, kept on towards finish, not pace of winner
slowly into stride and went right start, held up, pushed along halfway, ridden and no impression on leaders when hung left over 1f out
Doughnut is our selection in this contest with Countrywide City and Madame Trop Vite providing the most obvious opposition. The selection ran a fair fourth in the Marygate Stakes at York and while she did disappoint at Windsor on her latest start, we'll give her another chance here. Countrywide City possesses plenty of pace. He was comprehensively held in a Novice event at the track last month. Madame Trop Vite won on debut at this course and was tried in better grade last time. There is a suspicion that cut in the ground will help. Digit does little to help herself by hanging left. Our Wee Girl is still a maiden and looks to have it all to do. A few of these have obvious question marks to answer and we'll stick with Doughnut.
