led, ridden over 1f out, headed close home
slowly into stride, always outpaced
tracked leaders on inside, ridden and weakened 3f out
mid-division, ridden and headway over 1f out, ran on
dwelt, soon in touch, ridden and weakened 2f out
chased leader throughout, ridden 2f out, weakened final furlong
never better than mid-division
Ex-Irish performer Resonate showed plenty of determination when a narrow winner of a similar event over 7f at Doncaster in October and is the TEAMtalk choice to follow up. Tony Newcombe's charge is a pacey type who shouldn't have any problems in coping with the drop in trip and should be hard to beat on these terms. Cheeney Basin has been in excellent heart of late but has 12lb to find with the selection on official BHB figures but Sal's Gal has place claims on her Southwell handicap win off 56 in Ocotber and Social Contract isn't out of preceedings either if putting his best foot forward.
