slowly away, led after about 3f, ridden over 2f out, headed over 1f out, rallied and every chance inside final furlong, no extra close home
tracked leader early, soon dropped in rear, led over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, soon pressed, held on towards finish
led for about 3f, tracked leader, weakened over 1f out
Mark Johnston saddles two of the three runners in this and will be disappointed if one of them can't take home first prize. Fallon rides Hamla but she was all at sea on her Turf debut at Bath and finished a tailed-off last. A big improvement would be needed to beat stablemate AMBLESIDE, who gets the nod despite being a beaten favourite in his two starts since winning at Beverley in April. Duke Of Yorkshire was only beaten a neck at Doncaster nine days ago but has been raised 3lb since and looks as though he'll do better when given a more searching test of stamina.
Ambleside 2-1fav (8-11) Soon led and set steady pace, quickened over 3f out, headed 3f out, chased leader until over 2f out, outpaced in 4th 2f out, rallied to modest 3rd near finish, 3rd of 4, 5l behind Ennistown (9-7) at Haydock 1m 4f 3yo hcp 0-85 (4) gf in Jun.
Duke Of Yorkshire 4-1 (8-12) Tracked leader, challenged over 3f out, soon ridden, led narrowly over 2f out to 1f out, kept on and every chance inside final furlong, just held, 2nd of 10, nk behind Chant (9-6) at Doncaster 1m 4f 3yo hcp 0-70 (5) gd in Jun.
Hamla 10-3 (8-12) Slowly into stride, pulled hard, went 3rd 6f out until pushed along and outpaced 4f out, weakened 3f out, last of 4, 19l behind Knight's Parade (9-2) at Bath 1m 4f 3yo hcp 0-75 (5) fm in Jun.
