held up in rear, under pressure over 2f out, soon beaten
chased leaders, squeezed through to challenge over 1f out, led just inside final furlong, ran on strongly
led, headed entering final furlong, kept on well
pulled hard, held up, headway over 2f out, soon no impression
dwelt and went right start, green and hung right in rear, beaten halfway, eased over 1f out
chased leaders, effort over 2f out, soon lost place
held up in touch, under pressure over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
Experience is thin on the ground in this but Jim Crowley has chosen Lingfield fourth ALANDALOS ahead of Owen Burrows’ debutante Tatweej so we’ll trust his judgement. Dinah Washington didn’t show a great deal at Yarmouth in the autumn but was very green so improvement is expected. Maamora also needs more while Rimmal has a Dirt pedigree and it’s not encouraging to see her wearing a hood on her debut.
