led, ridden and headed 2f out, rallied and every chance inside final furlong, not quicken towards finish
chased leader, pushed along and every chance over 3f out, weakened over 2f out
held up last, steady progress on outside over 5f out, ridden to lead 2f out, headed over 1f out, one pace final furlong
held up, headway 3f out, ridden and every chance well over 1f out, weakened final furlong
always prominent, ridden to lead over 1f out, driven out
With no form to go on the market should be the best guide. A five-year-old won it last year but four-year-olds had won the three previous renewals. Strepitant is a half-brother to St Leger winner Encke but he wouldn’t be running in a race like this if he’d shown a fraction of his sibling’s ability. JUBATUS is out of a winning bumper and a half-brother to winners on the Flat and over jumps – he’s not travelled over from Ireland for a holiday. Forchena is a half-sister to winning jumpers so looks the danger with Golden Coin and Inexorable looking nothing special on pedigree.
