made all, ridden and pressed over 1f out, wandered inside last, ran on well, always doing enough
stumbled and pecked leaving stalls, in rear, in touch, pushed along halfway, never on terms
chased front pair, ridden, pressed leader and edged left 1f out, kept on, no extra final 110 yards
tracked leader, pushed along well over 1f out, soon outpaced and weakened quickly
Prince Of Bel Lir failed on his hat-trick bid at Doncaster but isn’t badly treated here dropped a pound since. As If By Chance has also won twice so far this year but is now on a career-high mark. APHELIOS (NAP) gets a 7lb weight-for-age allowance and his rider claims a further 5lb so the Windsor winner can complete a double as it was reported that Miss Calculation didn’t handle this track last month.
