tracked leaders, ridden halfway, kept on same pace final furlong
short of room leaving stalls, headway to chase winner over 3f out, ridden 2f out, no impression
broke smartly soon crossed to rail, made all, ridden over 1f out, edged right and ran on final furlong
went right start in rear, pushed along over 3f out, never a factor
tracked leaders, ridden halfway, faded final furlong
close up, ridden halfway, headway over 1f out, kept on one pace, lost 3rd close home
towards rear, pushed along over 3f out, ran on final furlong, nearest finish
in touch, ridden halfway, weakened over 1f out
None of these inspire much confidence, including FORCEFUL BEACON who was expected to do better at Chelmsford last time. But Tony Carroll's charge had gone close over track and trip before that with Bond Blade, Lazy Sioux and Qatar Princess behind and gets a token vote on that form. Master Of Disguise wasn't beaten far despite finishing only fifth here last month and a 7lb claimer helps his cause while Auntie Dif will not have to improve much on last year's form to get involved on her return to action.
