awkwardly away, held up last, never on terms
raced keenly tracking leaders out wide, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and unable to quicken inside final 2f, never dangerous after
chased leaders on inside, ridden over 1f out, weakened final furlong
held up in last pair, late headway, never going pace to reach leaders
held up in 5th, headway over 2f out, ridden and went 2nd over 1f out, kept on, never going pace to challenge
made all, shaken up inside final furlong, ran on well, unchallenged
chased winner, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and no impression when lost 2nd over 1f out, plugged on in 3rd
Hollie Doyle steered TWILIGHT MADNESS (NAP) to an easy victory here last week so it isn't surprising that her mount turns out under a penalty and a quick double looks on the cards. Batraan is also in fine shape and makes his handicap debut after a comfortable success at Southwell, though he's yet to race on Polytrack. Dashing Dick hasn't been out of a place in five starts, including here in December, but Kevin The Minion may do better over an extra furlong. The lightly-raced Enaitchess was beaten less than a length at Lingfield in December and should be capable of better.
