very slow away, recovered after 2f to go in touch, switched right and effort over 2f out, weakened final furlong
dwelt, soon outpaced, plenty to do and headway over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong, nearest finish, better for race
close up, ridden and every chance over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong
disputed lead, led over 1f out, ridden out
chased leaders over 4f
This looks to be very much between the two newcomers - Alpha Echo and Green Line. Alpha Line hails from the Aidan O'Brien stable and is a well bred son of Spinning World. although the yard have suffered a few reversals with newcomers of late his chance has to be seriously respected. Sir Michael Stoute saddles Green Line in the colours of The Queen and this colt by leading sire Green Desert has been going up well at home. Of those with experience preference is for Indian Country who found only one too good on his debut at Newcastle earlier in the month and should appreciate this better surface. Jan Brueghel looks best of the rest.
