outpaced after 1f, never a factor
very slowly away outpaced, headway under pressure over 1f out, went remote 2nd inside final furlong
made all, clear over 2f out, never out of a canter
slow into stride soon ridden along and headway to chase easy winner over 5f out until driven over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
slowly away in touch, pushed along 4f out, headway 2f out, chased easy winner briefly inside final furlkong
tracked easy winner until over 5f out, ridden to chase winner again over 2f out until entering final furlong
Only a couple of these make any appeal. Beyond Recall sets the standard off a mark of 69 though should have finished closer in a maiden race at Wolverhampton last time. But a chance is taken on THE GREAT WALL handling the Fibresand as he was conceding weight to a winner rated 75 when beaten a length at Dundalk in August and has switched to Mick Appleby’s yard subsequently. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder though Riverside Bridge has yet to compete in this code having had nine starts over hurdles without success.
