close up, keen early, briefly disputed 2f out, outpaced by winner when ridden inside final furlong, kept on and just held on when pressed for second final strides, no chance with winner
slowly away, keen in rear, pushed along passing halfway, switched to centre when ridden to take third entering final furlong, ran on but not pace of front pair
hung right exiting starting stalls but soon led, headed after a furlong, outpaced before halfway, weakened quickly from 2f out, finished detached
dwelt and took a false step soon after start, soon prominent on near side, keen when led after first furlong, headed 2f out, hung right before final furlong, gradually weakened inside final 110 yards
prominent, disputed 2f out, going well when led inside final two furlongs, quickened up nicely inside final furlong, pushed out when clear inside final 110 yards, impressive
Tees Douge improved when runner-up at Southwell but had earlier finished behind ALFA WHITEBURD when the latter finished fourth in the Brocklesby at Doncaster. Craig Lidster’s colt may prove the one to side with in this though Spanish Phoenix also has a shout having shown promise at Kempton on his debut despite running green. The newcomer Got To Love A Grey is related to winners and Karl Burke’s yard is in good form.
