        slowly into stride, soon prominent, lost place over 3f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        None of these inspire confidence and a purely token vote goes to Irish raider MR BOSS MAN, not beaten far when only fifth at Dundalk last time. Easydoesit has been getting closer without looking like winning while Cosmic Statesman has yet to win 15 starts on the Flat but has slipped down the weights this year. Medieval Bishop won over 1m4f here earlier this year but remains 6lb higher while Smugglers Lane won twice on the all-weather in the first half of the year
