slowly away, held up in rear, headway on outside over 2f out, unable to get on terms, well held final furlong
tracked leaders, closed over 2f out, stayed on same pace inside final furlong
soon led, headed and unable to quicken from over 2f out, kept on but no impression on winner final furlong
took keen hold, tracked leaders, outpaced over 2f out, soon weakened
This isn't straightforward as the Dalgleish pair have some respectable form on turf but both have been absent since last October, which makes choosing between them difficult as there's only a couple of pounds between them on official ratings. Maulesden May is the one proven over this trip, however, so might come out best. Amuletum shaped fairly well on her first run for this stable since leaving the Halford yard in Ireland and should progress again but the vote goes to DOSE. She has failed to get her head in front over the winter but has performed consistently well, should stay this trip and can make the most of her assured fitness off an acceptable mark.
