tracked winner, ridden and edged left over 2f out, weakened final furlong
dwelt and went left start, in rear, some late headway, never a factor
dwelt soon close up, headway 3f out, slightly hampered over 2f out, weakened final furlong
mid-division, pushed along 3f out, headway 2f out, kept on one pace
keen tracked leaders, hampered over 2f out, ridden to chase winner over 1f out, kept on but no chance with winner
made all, shaken up over 1f out, unchallenged
VOICE OF A LEADER was well touted before making his debut at Newmarket and though not quite able to cope it was a good run and the experience won't be lost on him. He's handed the vote though there are some nicely-bred newcomers in opposition. Storm Force Ten is one to keep an eye on but his pedigree suggests he'll need further while Top Tug is by Halling out of a mare who won a Listed contest over this trip as a juvenile so he should have the pace for this. Tornesel is by Teofilo out of a 6f winner so he's another who should have enough speed to make his presence felt.
