slowly into stride, held up, driven along 4f out, stayed on in to take distant 2nd over 1f out, never any chance with unchallenged winner
held up in rear, ridden on outside and struggling over 2f out
chased winner, pushed along and struggling halfway, no chance 3f out, lost 2nd over 1f out
raced keenly, made all, clear halfway, around 10 lengths clear when ridden over 1f out, edged left inside final furlong, ridden out, unchallenged
Disappointingly just the four runners line up for the closing event on the card but every one of the quartet has claims with the vote just going to Mark Johnston's recent Lingfield maiden winner GRAYFRIARSCHORISTA, who looks to be well treated for his debut in a handicap off a mark of just 72, and he is preferred to Lisahane Bog and The Glamour Cat. Marco Botti's filly won well on her first start for new connections at Wolverhampton earlier this month and the Irish import has every chance but an 8lb rise for that success makes this more difficult. David Arbuthnot's Fazza has been running well in races over seven furlongs of late and he may do better stepped up to a mile, although he may be a shade high in the weights. Peter Hedger's Lisahane Bog won four races on the bounce prior to finding just Exceedthewildman too good at Lingfield last time and he has solid claims racing off just a 1lb higher mark today. Mark Johnston can do little wrong with his runners at present though and Greyfriarschorista looks worth chancing on his handicap debut.
