always towards rear
mid-division, headway over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, kept on well to take 2nd place inside final furlong, always well held
chased leaders, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace
led, ridden and headed final furlong, soon faded
mid-division, headway over 2f out, ridden to lead final furlong, kept on well
chased leader, ridden over 1f out, kept on and lost 2nd place inside final furlong
in rear, pushed along 3f out, never dangerous
towards rear, ridden over 1f out, never a factor

Appenzeller has been thereabouts over longer trips in both starts so far this year and should figure while Juneau and Frozen Bere are others dropping back in distance for their handicap debuts. Fitzrovia moves in the opposite direction after three starts over 6f but The Night King won over a mile at Chelmsford back in January before finishing a long way behind third-placed HATEYA (NAP) at Windsor recently. The latter was beaten less than a length on that occasion and Jim Boyle’s filly should make another bold bid racing off the same mark today.
