took keen hold, tracked leaders, went 2nd 5f out, led inside final 2f, ridden and headed approaching final furlong, weakened inside final furlong
chased leaders on outside, ridden 2f out, weakened soon after
held up towards rear, some late headway, never nearer
slowly into stride, always towards rear
slowly away, well off the pace towards rear, switched right to rail inside final 2f, headway when not clear run and switched left over 1f out, kept on into 3rd close home, nearest finish
This looks a modest maiden as, though making late headway, Lassana Angel was still beaten 15 lengths when third at Nottingham in October. Cool Team’s second at Newcastle in September was a better effort and Desert Dream has to be worth a second look from a yard that does well here in this type of race, though his dam got better the further she travelled and he’ll be going over middle-distances this year. DAMOCLES was fourth in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket on his debut and the form of that race is usually worth following. He’ll know more today and looks the one to beat.
