tracked leader, ridden to lead narrowly over 1f out, headed entering final furlong, soon weakened and lost 2nd place
dwelt, in rear, pushed along over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, never dangerous
tracked leaders in 3rd and keen, ridden over 1f out, kept on to chase winner inside final furlong, no impression
Idler stepped up on his debut effort to finish second over 6f at Yarmouth last time and has to come into the reckoning. Serene Oasis is making a habit of finishing third and should be in the mix once again here, but preference goes to SHEVINGTON. He just failed to catch the winner on his debut at Newcastle in April and reappeared in a sales race over today's trip at Doncaster earlier this month. He came up well short there but will strip fitter today and can take advantage in this lesser company. Ptolemaic and Serendipity Blue are hard to fancy.
