made all, pressed briefly 4 out, ridden and stayed on flat
close up, ridden 4 out, not trouble leaders, weakened flat
not fluent at times, reminders 4 out, ridden next, never a factor

Civil Unrest is proving consistent and was second here again last week, though the feeling persists that he’s a couple of pounds too high at present. Henry's Joy has only run once so far over fences so there is plenty of scope for improvement. JOHN WILLIAMS has a good record around here and gets good ground for the first time since returning from his summer break. He’s been dropped 2lb since his last run and may be ready to resume winning ways as Ulis De Vassy and Cool Valley are hard to win with and Present Flight was due to run yesterday at Carlisle.
