tracked leader, led after 2f and set decent pace, pushed along 3f out, ridden and headed 2f out, lost 2nd over 1f out, weakened soon after
wore hood to post, slowly into stride and awkwardly away, keen in rear, pushed along and outpaced 3f out, ridden and went 2nd over 1f out, stayed on same pace, no chance with easy winner
Mindset and Emperor Zen are the only previous winners in this line-up but also the most exposed. Morcar has started at huge odds in all three runs to date so improvement is required but MONTEVIDEO went well for a long way against two previous winners at Haydock 12 days ago and can build on that here. Mythical Guest is proven over this trip unlike Tribute.
