close up in last place, ridden and headway entering final furlong, went 2nd inside final furlong, not trouble winner
tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
tracked winner, ridden over 1f out, kept on one pace and lost 2nd inside final furlong
made all, ridden over 1f out, ran on, readily
Gabrial The Boss complicates matters as he was engaged to run at Southwell yesterday. Dropping back in distance, he may well make the running if taking part. Skytrain steps up in distance for his return to action and makes his handicap debut along with Jimmy The Snooze, who scored over course and distance last time with a subsequent winner back in third. The latter looks sure to get involved but a chance is taken on STUDFARMER, as he went close to following up last year's debut victory when third at Kempton on his comeback and will have improved for the outing.
