mid-division, headway on inside tracking leaders 8f out, ridden and weakened rapidly inside final 3f, tailed off and eased inside final 2f
tracked leaders out wide, bagged near side rail in home straight, every chance 2f out, ridden and weakened over 1f out
off the pace towards rear, some late minor headway, never involved
slowly into stride, behind most of way
led and brought field near side in home straight, joined 2f out, kept battling away until ridden and headed over 1f out, tried to rally towards finish
tracked leaders out wide, headway and angled out over 2f out, led over 1f out, ridden clear final furlong
raced keenly and always towards rear, tailed off
tracked leader, pushed along and every chance 2f out, stayed on inside final furlong pressing for 2nd, no chance with winner
mid-division, headway tracking leaders 8f out, weakened over 2f out
always behind, never a factor, tailed off and eased final 2f

KAMANIKA had Expert Witness back in third when scoring at Leicester earlier and finished a close-up third at Newmarket last time. Al Hargah won in this grade at Newbury before beaten in a tougher contest and should be in the mix but Bletchley Storm has something to prove over this far judged on his latest effort. The latter comment also applies to Kynsa whose best form so far has been over 7f.
