led 8f out, ridden and headed 2f out, kept on same pace
keen in touch in rear, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
keen tracked leaders, pushed along 3f out, kept on to go 2nd towards finish
keen close up, headway on outer over 2f out, ridden to lead approaching final furlong, ran on
in touch in rear, ridden 2f out, never a factor
His Kyllachy has the most scope of these after just two runs but will need to find plenty of improvement to beat PALING off level terms on his handicap debut. Roger Charlton's colt is edging up the weights but has gone close at Goodwood and Sandown since winning at Brighton and looks the one to beat. Daisy Boy is held on the form book but Cape Banjo will surely win one of these sooner rather than later and makes more appeal than both Royal Reserve and Ansaab.
