went left and stumbled start, raced keenly in 4th, pushed along 3f out, soon outpaced and weakened
outpaced in rear, plugging on in modest 4th when hung right over 2f out
raced keenly in close 3rd, went 2nd halfway, pushed along into narrow lead inside final furlong, shaken up to assert inside final 100 yards, always doing enough
led for 2f, tracked leader until halfway, no impression in modest 3rd final 2f
tracked leader, led 8f out, pushed along over 3f out, ridden and pressed over 1f out, narrowly headed inside final furlong, no extra inside final 100 yards
off the pace in last pair, pushed along and struggling inside final 3f, never a factor
SPECTACULAR STYLE was no match for Burglar at Redcar on his debut but the winner is rated 92 and Roger Varian’s colt gets the vote on that form. Sgian Dubh placed over a longer trip here recently while the returning Rajasthan steps up in distance having placed in both outings last year. The remainder have shown little so far and are hard to recommend.
