behind, struggling 4 out, soon beaten
always behind
tracked leader, led 4 out, challenged after next, stayed on well

mid-division, headway 3 out, chased leaders after next, never on terms
held up, some late headway, never dangerous
held up in touch, hit 4th, mistake 3 out, chased leaders next, never able to challenge
led, mistake 2nd, headed 4 out, weakened next
slow 1st soon behind, outpaced 4 out, modest headway after 2 out, never nearer
Only a couple of these make any appeal. MAGICAL THOMAS was beaten only a length at Uttoxeter last month and Neil Mulholland’s charge is taken to confirm running with third-placed Canford Thompson in the process of going one better. The latter looks the biggest threat given the remainder are all struggling for form including Rasasee though the latter drops down a grade today and is preferred to Jeremy's Jet.
