switched left start, held up in rear, ridden and struggling 3f out, never a factor, tailed off
chased leaders, went 3rd over 3f out, going well when struck on face with rival whip over 2f out, went 2nd well over 1f out, led over 1f out, ridden clear
held up in touch on inside, headway to 4th inside final 3f, edged left and went 2nd 1f out, hung left and one pace inside final furlong
soon led, ridden and headed 2f out, weakened over 1f out
led early, chased leader, led again ridden and headed over 1f out, lost 2nd 1f out and soon no extra
A few of these are looking to step up on recent placed efforts including Wordiness. He was beaten a couple of lengths when runner-up at Kempton last time while Ashkalara finished only a length behind the winner at the same track in October. Annelko went the closest on his latest start when caught close home by Kames Park but a chance is taken on TORERO. Kevin Ryan's charge has yet to win but has been placed off higher marks on Turf and only faded inside the final furlong on his return from seven months off the track last week.
