pressed winner and keen on rail, switched out after 1f, every chance 2f out, ridden over 1f out, lost 2nd towards finish
made all, pushed out inside final furlong, ran on well, unchallenged
held up in last pair, headway on rail over 2f out, chasing leaders when not clear run and switched left over 1f out, switched back right soon after, one reminder and ran on into 2nd towards finish
raced keenly tracking leaders, pushed along and unable to quicken over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong
steadied start and awkwardly away, raced keenly and held up in rear, never dangerous
pulled hard tracking leaders, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and weakened inside final 2f
Jimi Hendrix and Windseeker won over today’s trip back in October. Both beat subsequent winners and are penalised on their return to action. Bling On The Music is another making a reappearance but Flag High posted a better effort at Chelmsford recently with a hood fitted and the headgear remains in place. Zainalarab is related to a couple of winners but fellow newcomer CABINET OF CLOWNS is a half-brother to the smart sprinter Chocoya among others and gets a speculative vote.
