held up in 5th, headway over 1f out, squeezed through between horses and quickened inside final furlong, driven to lead final 100 yards, hung right near finish
tracked leading pair, ridden to challenge over 1f out, every chance inside final furlong, weakened final 100 yards
took keen hold early and soon chased leader, ridden to challenge from over 1f out, upsides disputing lead and every chance inside final furlong, stayed on but not quite pace of winner
led, kept narrow lead when strongly pressed from over 1f out, joined inside final furlong, headed final 100 yards, kept on same pace in closing stages
took keen hold, chased leaders, ridden to challenge over 1f out, pressing for lead and every chance inside final furlong, staying on same pace in 4th when slightly hampered close home
held up last, staying on inside final furlong on heels of leaders but looked held when squeezed out close home, never able to challenge
All of these are winners but top weight KING GEORGE RIVER has the best form to date. He was only beaten a nose in similar company here a fortnight ago and an apprentice's 7lb claim could give him the edge in this. Gabrial The Boss has plenty to make up with the selection on latest running while Ningara failed to land the odds on his handicap debut having won at Kempton before that. Henry The Aviator, Great Demeanor and Rouge Nuage are all recent maiden winners with the former making most appeal after scoring on his debut at Wolverhampton.
