held up in rear, headway over 2f out, soon chasing winner, kept on well under pressure
tracked leaders, lost place over 3f out
held up towards rear, switched right and headway over 1f out, never a threat
in touch, headway over 4f out, led over 3f out, ridden over 1f out, ran on strongly
slowly into stride, in touch, effort over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
led, hung right when headed over 3f out, soon weakened
took keen hold tracking leader, outpaced over 2f out, stayed on strongly towards finish
All of these are fairly exposed bar Kastela Stari and therefore strong recent form may prove the decisive factor. Father Shine belied his eleven years to outstay his Ayr rivals latest whilst Graylyn Ruby continues to win in his turn, although both he and Walter De La Mare were engaged to run here yesterday. CAPPIELOW PARK is preferred as Ali Brewer has done well with the dual purpose performer who landed a couple of handicap hurdles in May. He finished a close Chepstow third last time returned to the level in a driving finish with Lady Percy and Captain Oats, the latter having franked the form with a Bath success over the weekend. He could well be suited by this additional two furlongs and can return to winning ways.
