handy, went on from 2nd, ridden and headed home turn, weakened thereafter
led, headed after 2nd, pushed along and outpaced home turn, behind from 2 out
mid-division on inside, pushed along and made no impression approaching 2 out, plugged on from last
held up, smooth headway to go 2nd approaching 2 out, ridden and every chance last, kept on from last but could not match pace of winner
handy, took it up going well home turn, few lengths clear 2 out, ridden and pressed last, kept on well flat, driven out
in rear, became detached home turn, never a factor
Admiral's Sunset won this last year and is back on the same mark. He must have a good chance of a repeat if putting a couple of below-par efforts behind him but SHAREEF STAR is also a course and distance winner and he beat subsequent scorer Sea Prince easily at Bangor before another solid run at that track earlier this month when Elios D'Or was a well-beaten fourth. Glajou is on a long losing run and will likely find at least one too good again.
