ran green in rear, ridden after first two furlongs, headway to dispute second approaching final 4f, hard ridden again 2f out, gradually weakened
made all, steadily increased tempo inside final mile final, asserted 1f out, always doing enough inside final 110 yards, pushed out, comfortable
prominent until outpaced final 2f, just denied third final strides
close up, chased leader and every chance 3f out, unable to quicken inside final 2f, soon held, kept on one pace near finish, held on for third final strides
held up, outpaced and lost ground quickly from home turn, finished tailed off

Coastal Rock is a half-brother to three winners so looks the pick of the newcomers, though any market interest in The Two Harrys should be noted.
