held up in last pair, some headway on outside over 1f out, weakened final furlong
slowly into stride, soon in touch in last trio, pushed along 3f out, effort on inside chasing leaders over 2f out, ridden and outpaced over 1f out, plugged on inside final furlong
chased leader, hung badly left from 4f out, lost 2nd over 3f out, outpaced 2f out, plugged on again inside final furlong, never dangerous
raced keenly, led until ridden over 1f out, no impression when lost 2nd inside final furlong, just held on for 3rd
tracked leading pair, went 2nd over 3f out, edged left and raced awkwardly from over 1f out, went 2nd inside final furlong, no chance with winner
soon pushed along in rear, struggling over 3f out, headway over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, nearest finish
tracked leaders, smooth headway on outside over 2f out, led over 1f out, quickened clear, easily
Signed And Sealed will probably try and make all, as he did when third over 1m2f at Pontefract earlier this month. But a strong gallop shouldn't inconvenience PALMERSTON, who has a stamina-packed pedigree being a half-brother to smart middle-distance performer Martlet. His dam won over 1m3f and the Oasis Dream colt can get off the mark at the first time of asking. Raasmaal was a 160,000 guineas yearling and is a half-brother to useful miler Rhythm Of Light while Ice Galley is by Galileo and cost 105,000 guineas. The latter pair should also win races and have more scope than Leicester second So Celebre.
