slowly into stride, soon tracking leading trio, went 3rd halfway until 4f out, soon beaten, tailed off
chased (clear) winner throughout, pushed along over 4f out, ridden and no chance from over 2f out, held on for modest 2nd
made all, clear from halfway, pushed along over 3f out, kept on strongly, unchallenged
Di's Gift was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Pontefract and the younger horses make more appeal, in particular SPIRITOFTHEUNION. She showed a big improvement to finish second over track and trip last time so Michael Bell's filly can open her account in this. Haydn's Lass and Braes Of Lochalsh look likely improvers and while Shaf showed little on her introduction he should appreciate this longer trip.
