made all, ridden over 1f out, clear final furlong, eased close home
chased winner, pushed along and switched left over 2f out, ridden and no impression from over 1f out, kept on same pace
steadied start, held up in 3rd, pushed along and switched right over 2f out, unable to make any impression, kept on same pace
A very disappointing turnout for this Group 2. Silver Knott was only fourth behind CHALDEAN on debut at Newbury but has won both starts since. Andrew Balding’s Frankel colt stayed on too strongly for the re-opposing Indestructible in the Acomb at York and can confirm those two pieces of form.
Chaldean 7-2 (9-3) Prominent, led over 3f out, driven and headed 1f out, led again inside final furlong, stayed on well, won at York 7f Grp 3 stks (1) gd in Aug beating Indestructible (9-3) by 1/2l, 9 ran.
Indestructible (IRE) 8-1 (9-3) Disputed lead early, prominent, went 2nd and switched right inside 2f out, led 1f out, headed inside final furlong, held towards finish, 2nd of 9, 1/2l behind Chaldean (9-3) at York 7f Grp 3 stks (1) gd in Aug.
Silver Knott 9-4 (9-3) Held up in rear, in touch, effort and smooth headway well over 1f out, shaken up and led over 1f out, ridden and edged right inside last, kept on well, readily, won at Sandown 7f Grp 3 stks (1) gd in Aug beating Wahaaj (9-3) by 3 1/4l, 6 ran.
