started very slowly, in rear, headway on inside over 2f out, soon ridden and weakened over 1f out
tracked leaders, ridden and effort when hung left over 1f out, not quicken final furlong
behind in touch, ridden over 2f out, and no impression final 2f
made all, led, pressed over 2f out and over 1f out, asserted final 100 yards, ridden out
went badly left leaving stalls, in rear, kept on final furlong but never dangerous
behind, ridden and weakened over 2f out, eased final furlong
slowly into stride, soon chased leaders, ridden to challenge over 1f out, every chance entering final furlong, kept on one pace
took keen hold in touch, ridden and outpaced over 2f out
Yamanmickmccann can land the opener at the expense of Bertbrand and Sempre Libera. The selection caught the eye when second of ten at Lingfield behind Blakeshall Diamond last time out. That was a much improved effort and a repeat of that performance can see him break his maiden tag this time around. Bertbrand again improved for the experience when fourth on his second start here over six furlongs. He ran as though this step up in trip will suit so any market moves should be noted. Sempre Libera who has his debut run could be interesting coming from a big yard. They generally know their job first time of asking so again he is to noted in the betting. But for the winner we return to Yamanmickmccann.
