always behind
led briefly, tracked leader, hung left and ridden 3f out, lost 2nd over 2f out, plugged on in well held 3rd
held up in 5th on inside, smooth headway between horses 3f out, went 2nd going well over 2f out, pushed along to lead over 1f out, soon clear, eased towards finish
raced keenly in close 3rd on inside, hung left from over 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
soon led, ridden entering final 2f, headed over 1f out, no chance with winner
dwelt, soon pushed along chasing leaders, pushed along 4f out, ridden and unable to quicken when hung left inside final 2f, weakened final furlong, eased
held up in last pair, pushed along out wide 3f out, never a factor

Quite a number of these are in good heart at present and ZAFAAN is taken to follow up his first career success when sticking on stoutly to score at Doncaster. Well supported that day, he should have more to come on what is just a sixth career start and a second on the grass. This extra two furlongs is likely to suit and the claim of his talented pilot is an added bonus. Corporate Raider was a surprise scorer here last time according to the market following a series of modest efforts and is a contender if able to back up that much-improved effort. Barney's Angel is running well enough on the all-weather and now returns to turf for the first time in nearly a year, whilst the totally unexposed Dark Gold has to be checked in the market in case he's the latest in the line of Sir Mark Prescott handicap projects.
