led, headed over 3f out, soon ridden, kept on over 1f out without troubling front pair
towards rear, pushed along over 3f out, no impact from over 2f out
in rear, tailed off over 3f out, never involved
prominent, niggled along over 2f out, reminders and led over 1f out, drifted left on the run-in, always doing enough
A weak contest considering PASSIONAL is only rated 54 but still has leading claims. Stuart Williams’ filly returned a losing favourite in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time and has experience of the Fibresand. Tomorrowland finished in front of Butcherofstockholm and Mjolnir when attempting to make all at Chelmsford and drops down in trip while Momentum Swing has undergone wind surgery since the summer and stablemate Hyba returns from an even longer absence.
