held up last, switched right over 1f out, stayed on final furlong, nearest finish
tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, weakened final furlong
close up, led over 2f out, headed over 1f out, still every chance inside final furlong, no extra near finish
led, headed over 2f out, led again over 1f out, ran on final furlong
tracked leaders, ridden 3f out, weakened well over 1f out
held up, ridden over 2f out, kept on same pace
The cut in the ground should suit Zabaglione and he is taken to build on his seasonal reappearance today. Roger Charlton's charge showed a good level of progression last season and could have too much toe for some of today's rivals if the rain has got into the ground. Excellento and Aversham appeal as the best of the rest whereas Polar Force has become a frustrating horse to follow and will struggle to give weight away at this level.
