ridden towards rear after 2f, never a factor
held up in touch, headway to lead 1f out, ran on well but caught in dying strides

in touch until pushed along at halfway, plugged on but never a factor
Passional escaped a penalty for an earlier success at Chelmsford and was sent off favourite here last time. She found one too good but still finished ahead of both Spirit Power and Qaaraat and another bold bid is expected. But the latter’s stablemate DRAKEFELL finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when narrowly beaten in a seller here recently and that may herald a return to winning ways back in handicap company today. A Go Go handles the Fibresand though has proved best on Tapeta so far with four wins at Wolverhampton while Giogiobbo has yet to score in this country though has gone close here in the past.
