keen tracked leaders, ridden to lead 2f out, headed approaching final furlong, kept on one pace
swerved badly right start and lost all chance, tailed off until kept on final furlong
led 2f, tracked leader, ridden and every chance 2f out, kept on one pace and lost 3rd post
in rear, headway to track leaders halfway, ridden over 2f out, led approaching final furlong, ran on

raced wide close up until halfway, soon in rear
always in rear, weakened over 3f out
Most of these are pretty exposed with Snooky and SEHNSUCHT sharing top rating. The former has been placed in four of five starts on Turf and will go close if handling the track but the latter makes more appeal. Alan McCabe's charge was beaten less than a length over C&D last month and gets the nod on that basis. Frederickthegreat, Frosty Friday and Dewala have all been placed here but have plenty to find at the weights so the unexposed Major Buckley could prove a bigger danger on only his second start.
