slowly into stride, held up, headway over 2f out, soon no impression
chased leaders, every chance over 1f out, soon under pressure, weakened closing stages
mid-division, headway over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, never reached winner
Simon Crisford sent out the winner of this two years ago and Kareena Kapoor made a promising start at Yarmouth when finding only one too good. Comedy never saw another rival on her second start at Pontefract when making all but the form doesn’t look anything special and she may struggle under her penalty. EVIE SPEED was always prominent when just touched off on her debut at Thirsk. That was run in a decent time and Jedd O’Keeffe’s filly looked as though the experience that day would bring her forward. Star Terms is another likely improver and I Am Magical could be a newcomer to note in the betting.
