pulled hard, chased leaders on outside, pushed along halfway, ridden and weakened over 1f out
chased leaders on inside, kept on inside final furlong, went 2nd close home, not pace to challenge
chased winner, ridden and kept on same pace inside final furlong, lost 2nd close home
not much room leaving stalls, off the pace in 5th, headway over 1f out, 4th and one pace final furlong, never on terms
Powerallied is best at Chester and finished second at the latter track on his latest start. Watchable was runner-up over 6f here last time and won over the same trip at Doncaster in May while Sheepscar Lad has struggled since landing a hat-trick. Neither Dakota Gold nor Robot Boy arrive in the best of form so a tentative vote goes to MOVE IN TIME, who has been keeping better company since winning at Newmarket in May and won off higher marks in the past.
