tracked winner, ridden 2f out, joined winner and every chance inside final furlong, carried right and ran on
made all, srt steady pace, quickened pace 2f out, edged right and joined inside final furlong, pushed out and ran on
There's no recent form to consider in this so some guesswork needed. Half Turn is related to a couple of middle-distance winners and may be best watched on his debut while Uganda Glory never threatened in a couple of starts over shorter trips last season. Limit Up has a second over 5f at Ripon to his credit but was well beaten in three other outings last term and hasn't raced since June. LIONS ARCH made a promising debut at Doncaster only to disappoint when sixth over today's trip at Salisbury in October. That form looks better in hindsight with three winners coming out of the race and Richard Hannon's colt gets the vote.
