raced in 4th, pushed along 3f out, headway over 1f out, went 3rd inside final furlong, ran on, nearest finish
chased winner, every chance 2f out, beaten 3rd over 1f out, weakened into 4th inside final furlong
chased leaders, switched left 2f out, went 2nd over 1f out, disputing lead inside final furlong, edged left and held close home
came to race against stands rail, made virtually all, edged left over 1f out, joined inside final furlong, holding 2nd close home
There is little between Give A Little Back and PHOENIX BEACH on these terms. The former is fitted with blinkers and drops back down in trip while the latter will appreciate the return to this extra distance judged on an earlier third at Ripon behind a subsequent winner. Sharron Macready hasn’t raced since runner-up at Wolverhampton back in January though that form hasn’t worked out while Hillbilly is related to a couple of prolific winners and is preferred to Ahamoment.
Hillbilly Coach House gelding out of Dusty Dazzler.
