slowly into stride, outpaced in rear, never a factor
went right start, towards rear, some headway over 1f out, never on terms
made all, hard driven over 1f out, ran on strongly
tracked leader, effort over 1f out, kept on well under pressure
tracked leaders, hung right over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
in touch on outside, weakened well over 1f out
Indigo Beat ran in the Hilary Needler at Beverley and should find this easier. Galahad was second at Carlisle last time but still beaten 10 lengths and MONTATAIRE (NAP) is more interesting. He ran well at Goodwood after only finding one too good at Ripon on debut and can make it third-time lucky at the main expense of last week's course and distance runner-up What's The Story. Flash Of White is preferred to fellow newcomer Cliff Bay and Bongrace of the others.
Cliff Bay (IRE) Elzaam colt out of Lost Highway.
Flash Of White Excelebration colt out of Aberdovey.
