      awkwardly away and slow into stride, tracked leaders after 1f, ridden and every chance over 1f out, unable to quicken inside final furlong

      In depth

      Verdict

      Hawsies Dream and the frustrating Sand Grouse look up against it on today's terms, but only 3lb separates the remaining runners on official figures. With Royal Guinevere returning from a lay-off and Forceful Flame looking pretty exposed after a modest reappearance at Kempton, this looks like a rematch between Carina Palace and ADMIRALOFTHESEA. The former is weighted to reverse recent running over 7f at this track, but Robert Eddery's colt won a shade cosily once he found top gear and is taken to defy a penalty and follow up.
