always towards rear, never a factor
mid-division out wide, struggling 3f out, never involved

mid-division, pushed along 3f out, behind 2f out, stayed on strongly inside final furlong for 3rd
Hi Clare’s run at Doncaster was too bad to be true and she has a chance in this lower grade. Entrancement is a pound lower than when third off this mark at Kempton on her handicap debut but STARSHOT wasn’t beaten far when favourite last time at Kempton and there is no reason why he shouldn’t handle the switch to Tapeta. The steadily-improving No News and bottom weight Edmund Ironside also have decent claims.
