tracked leader, hit 4th 3 out and next, pushed along before 3 out, looked held next, rallied last, challenged run-in, driven and led towards finish
led, hood loosened and removed by rider at 7th, going well before 3 out, looked in command 2 out, reduced lead last, hung right run-in, headed and no extra towards finish
always well off the pace in last, reached for 5th, tailed off
Right Royals Day looks to have little chance on the evidence so far and LORD CONDI can give the weight away to Super Scorpion in what is essentially a match. Martin Keighley’s five-year-old, a winner at Plumpton last month, has more scope than Sean Bowen’s mount, who has finished second in his last two hurdle starts but seems best at Ffos Las.
