led, headed 4th but upsides again next, quickened to lead approaching last but soon joined and passed, not pace of winner
close up in 3rd, niggled approaching 2 out, headway to press leader last, quickened clear impressively
settled in last pair but well in touch, pushed along before 3 out, became detached before next and weakened quickly
sat outside leader until going to front 4th, joined next, still disputing lead 2 out but headed soon after and one pace run-in
GRAND MOGUL should complete a short-priced double for the Henderson yard as he’s eased in grade after running well for a long way in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month. Pride Of Pemberley is very modest so Mickyh might be the one for forecast-backers ahead of fellow newcomer Golden Boy Grey.
