took keen hold, soon with leader, driven well over 1f out, soon outpaced by first two
narrow leader, ridden and headed 3f out, soon weakened
tracked leaders, led on bit 3f out, shaken up final furlong, quickened clear, easily
held up last, headway well over 1f out, kept on, no chance with winner
This should not take a great deal of winning and it will be a surprise if the TEAMtalk selection, Tiber, is not the one to win it. Admittedly disappointing on his debut at Salisbury earlier in the month, John Gosden's horse showed much improved form to chase home the useful-looking Soldera (the pair clear) on a return visit to the racecourse. A reproduction of that effort should be good enough against these. Of the opposition, Itsonlyagame showed very little on his Newmarket debut, London By Night finished last of 12 on his first start at Newbury, while Westmoreland Road is from a yard (Amanda Perrett's) that produces very few first time out two-year-old winners.
