      awkwardly away, in touch, wide and headway to track leaders over 4f out, ridden 2f out, clear approaching final furlong, eased close home

      In depth

      Verdict

      NEPTUNE SEAS has failed to live up to a hefty 725,000gns price tag but the Godolphin gelding looks worth another chance stepping up in trip after a third at Newcastle. He finished in front of Further Measure at Newmarket earlier while Onesmoothoperator has only found one too good over track and trip the last twice. Crimson King has placed over longer distances recently though still looks best of the rest.
