close up, shaken up before 2 out, soon ridden, no extra and weakened before final flight
made all, pushed along approaching 2 out, driven when 2 lengths clear approaching final flight, soon asserted and kept on well flat
tracked leaders, not fluent 2nd, shaken up to challenge before 2 out, soon every chance, carried head high when blundered last, stayed on same pace, no match for winner
didn\\\'t jump with fluency, raced in last, driven along before 4 out, became detached and pulled up before 2 out
towards rear of mid-division, ridden and no chance with leaders from 3 out, soon faded and tailed off from 2 out
ART OF ILLUSION should be winning this if running up the form he has shown in three runs so far. The Bold Thady didn’t look very keen here last time but consented to run on late and looks the danger given Foxinthebox appears to be going backwards. Gettysburgh and Dunatara will need to improve massively on what they’ve shown so far.
