        off the pace and always towards rear

        In depth

        Verdict

        LAST DATE has been threatening to end a long losing run and may go one better on the back of last week’s second over track and trip. Nemorum wasn’t beaten far when fourth here last time though hasn’t won in 20 attempts while Yarmouth third Fast Flo is another looking for a first success after 19 starts. Equiami won at Southwell back in April though has only beaten one rival in three subsequent outings.
