close up, pushed along over 3f out, weakened over 2f out
tracked leader, ridden and raced green 2f out, kept on same pace
tracked leaders, pushed along 3f out, looked in trouble 2f out, switched right over 1f out, ridden to chase clear leader approaching final furlong, stayed on to lead post
raced wide, close up, effort over 1f out, kept on same pace
led, pushed 3 lengths clear 2f out, ridden over 1f out, headed post
awkwardly away and lost 5 lengths, in rear, some headway 2f out, never a factor
Melo Magic is the only one of these with experience of the Fibresand but she was beaten out of sight. Magical Forest is rated 73 and was predictably outclassed in Group 3 company at Meydan last month but WHOSYOURHOUSEMATE (NAP) made a promising start when placed at Lingfield on his debut so makes most appeal. He finished behind a winner rated 87 and the runner-up has subsequently won so the form looks solid enough. Testbourne is related to a handful of winners and preferred to fellow newcomer Lakeski.
