keen tracked leader, led narrowly approaching final furlong, ridden and all out
close up in rear, effort 2f out, kept on same pace
led, ridden and headed narrowly approaching final furlong, driven and unable to quicken near finish
slowly away soon recovered to track leaders, pushed along 2f out, kept on one pace
None of these can be dismissed out of hand and that includes the newcomers and Derby entries Scarlet Minstrel and Ya Hade Ye Delil, a 525,000gns purchase. Fellow newcomer Atalan is related to three winners and Ryan Moore gets the leg-up while though Shadow Rock may have disappointed at Salisbury last time his earlier second at Newmarket was a good effort. Constable Buckley ran well for second when unfancied at Newbury but a tentative vote goes to DISSOLUTION. He finished five lengths clear of the rest when runner-up at Haydock and can go one better in a first-time visor.
