tracked winner, ridden 2f out, kept on same pace
made most, shaken up over 1f out, pushed out, comfortable
in touch in rear, ridden halfway, effort over 1f out, kept on to chase easy winner inside final furlong
PERFORMING POCKET could prove the answer here. He hasn't raced since a below par effort over a mile in September, but his earlier placed efforts over today's trip at Salisbury and Kempton make him the one to beat on his first start for David Simcock. Look At Me Now has gone close on a couple of occasions over the minimum trip and the less exposed The Kicking Lord could prove a bigger threat after a debut fifth over 6f at Wolverhampton, but Miakora and Flying Kitty look up against it judged on what little they've shown so far.
