slowly into stride, behind, headway over 2f out, chased leaders over 1f out, never a threat
in touch, weakened 2f out
hampered start, chased leaders, hung right over 2f out, hung left under pressure over 1f out, soon no impression
raced alone towards stands side and well on terms, effort when hung left over 1f out, faded final furlong
held up, headway over 2f out, chased winner over 1f out, not pace to challenge
tracked leader, weakening when hampered over 1f out

went right and steadied in rear, never dangerous
Quarry Beach just failed to the late surge of Crystal Casque at Sandown last week but has become expensive to follow. Voltaic has also proved frustrating and Majestic Mac ran poorly at Brighton. Society Guest is inconsistent and is tried in cheekpieces here but Oloroso has claims and Bear Force One is the least exposed having got off the mark in a Kempton maiden last month. SONG OF THE ISLES easily beat Quarry Beach at Salisbury and a 7lb turnaround in the weights, less her rider’s claim, may not be enough to reverse placings.
