made all, ridden over 1f out, ran on
tracked winner, pushed along 2f out, faded inside final furlong
close up, pushed along over 3f out, outpaced 2f out, edged right and rallied inside final furlong, ridden and ran on to go 2nd close home
tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, chased winner inside final furlong, one pace and lost 2nd close home
in rear, pushed along 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, never a factor
JAMES STREET won at Kempton before just missing out in a conditions race at the same track. Hugo Palmer’s colt finished ahead of previous winners K Club and Deep Intrigue on that occasion and there is no obvious reason why either should reverse running today despite Ryan Moore’s presence on the former. Isaan Queen was beaten by K Club over track and trip last month but Beleaguerment is more closely matched with the latter on earlier form and could be in the mix.
