soon outpaced in rear, lost touch 3f out, tailed off
tracked leader, led inside final 2f, shaken up and went clear over 1f out, well in command when ridden inside final furlong, eased towards finish, comfortably
led, ridden and headed inside final 2f, soon one pace, well held in 3rd final furlong
chased leaders, niggled along after 2f, ridden inside final 2f out, soon lost place, 4th and beaten final furlong
tracked leaders, ridden over 1f out, went 2nd and kept on inside final furlong, no chance with winner
A couple of these stand out on the form book. Boitron remains unbeaten having defied a penalty to win at Doncaster a fortnight ago and a first-time tongue-tie may bring about further improvement. But GOOD FORTUNE also looks ready for this step up in class on the back of an impressive 10-length success at Lingfield and Charlie Appleby’s colt can edge this. The Trader is progressing well having landed a double with an odds-on success at Chester and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today while Antonia De Vega made a promising start when scoring at Newmarket and may prove best of the fillies.
