in rear in 4th place, weakened over 1f out, soon eased
made all, ridden and clear over 1f out, kept on strongly
tracked winner, ridden over 1f out, kept on and no impression
tracked leaders in 3rd place, ridden over 2f out, kept on same pace
Harlequin Striker and Pealer drop back down in distance with the latter preferred at this level having performed as expected when starting 100/1 in the Derby and finishing last. He scored at Southwell before that while Hamster Jam went close to losing her maiden tag when beaten only a head at Beverley and can go close racing off the same mark. But NATIVE PROSPECT was runner-up over track and trip back in April when finishing in front of two subsequent winners and he gets the vote to come out best on that form.
