led early, tracked leader until over 4f out, ridden and headway to chase winner over 1f out, soon no impression
soon led, ridden and headed over 2f out, weakened final furlong
slowly into stride, switched to outer after 1f, headway to chase leader over 4f out, led over 2f out, pushed out, readily
soon pushed along in rear, never a factor
Son Vida patently didn't stay 1m4f here last time and has failed to improve on January's maiden win over a mile at this track. He's likely to try and make all attempting today's shorter trip for the first time and INGLEBY ARCH will be content to let him set the pace. David Barron's charge was winning for the 11th time at this track when landing a seller over 6f three weeks ago, but is equally at home over this extra furlong, and he should take all the beating as Jonnie Skull and Red Scintilla look up against it on today's terms.
