led, ridden over 1f out, no extra when headed inside final furlong, lost 2nd close home
tracked leaders, headway on inner to lead inside final furlong, shaken up, soon clear, comfortably
raced keenly, tracked leader, ridden to challenge and effort over 1f out, weakened final furlong
started slowly, towards rear, headway on inside over 1f out, stayed on to take 2nd close home, no chance with winner
slowly into stride, held up 4th, chased leaders over 1f out, no real impression when short of room and checked just inside final furlong, never nearer
Time Share may be the way to go in the opener and is preferred to Lady Hopeful and King Of Charm. The four year old is having his first run since leaving Giles Bravery and would be of keen interest if the market were to give out the right signals. Her sole success came over 6 but she has made the frame three times at the minimum, including over course and distance. In contrast, the drop back in trip doesn't look to favour King Of Charm who has done the majority of his racing over further. His yard ensures that he's accorded respect but he could be tapped for toe tonight. All of Lady Hopeful's four wins have come at the minimum but none here and the best that she has managed in six starts are the two third placed finishes which have come on her last two outings. She should be in the mix again but Time Share is preferred.
