keen, tracked winner, ridden over 1f out, stayed on towards finish
in touch in rear, ridden 2f out, never a factor
keen, close up, effort 2f out, kept on same pace final furlong
dwelt, in touch in rear, ridden halfway, weakened over 1f out
made all, ridden and flashed tail from over 1f out, ran on, gamely
tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, kept on one pace
Most of these all-weather regulars are old foes. Our Lord finished ahead of Eland Ally when winning at Brighton recently but was behind Pharoh Jake when the latter won here in April. Deer Song has finished closer since behind fifth-placed QUALITY ART at Windsor but it’s the latter that gets a token vote to come good again today having won five times last year including a success over course and distance. Frank The Barber is best at Wolverhampton and Temple Road remains out of form despite tumbling down the weights.
