led until over 2f out, weakened rapidly, behind and eased soon after, tailed off
went sharply left start, pulled hard tracking leader, led over 2f out, soon ridden, headed and no extra inside final furlong
pulled hard in rear, headway far side of group inside final 2f, ridden chasing leaders over 1f out, went 3rd towards finish
always towards rear, never a factor
held up towards rear, headway on near side rail chasing leaders over 2f out, soon ridden, weakened inside final 2f
held up in 5th, headway over 2f out, went 3rd 2f out, stayed on same pace, no extra and lost 3rd towards finish
went right start, chased leaders, went 2nd 2f out, led inside final furlong, ran on well
All of these have the unwanted distinction of going backwards on their latest outings and that includes the Gosden colt Arbiter. He was well beaten at Kempton last time when fading away in the closing stages while Savage Beauty was placed at Catterick on her debut before a poor effort here. Celestial Wood and Full Secret are other others who have failed to show any progress so this may prove a good opportunity for Marco Botti’s newcomer AL HURR, the first foal of a winner in South Africa who also placed in the UAE Oaks.
