dwelt, in rear, collided with rail soon after start, never a factor
tracked leader, under pressure over 2f out, soon no impression
tracked leader, outpaced over 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, no chance with winner
made all, driven clear 2f out, ran on strongly
in touch, under pressure halfway, soon beaten
LOW CUT AFFAIR looks the one to beat in this. She won a similar contest over 5f here earlier in the month and is clear of the opposition on official ratings. Tuebrook finished closer at Redcar last time and there may be more to come from him but Cupulation has shown little so far. The newcomers will not need to be anything special to figure with Excelling Oscar preferred to Emma Bovary.
Excelling Oscar (IRE) Excellent Art gelding out of Three Pennies.
Emma Bovary Monsieur Bond filly out of Rapturous.
