tracked winner, joined 7f out, pushed along over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
made all, clear over 1f out, comfortable
raced wide tracked leaders, disputed 2nd 7f out, weakened over 2f out, tailed off
A poor turnout and a tricky race to call given none have looked like winning so far. Kolo Tamam showed signs of temperament at Wolverhampton on last year’s debut and ran no sort of race while Chaparral Prince will likely improve with last month’s comeback run over today’s trip at Salisbury under is belt. FAIRLIGHT finished a modest fifth on the all-weather last time but was placed over 1m2f at Nottingham back in April and Luca Cumani’s colt gets a speculative vote on that form.
Chaparral Prince (IRE) 66-1 (9-5) In touch, headway over 2f out, ridden and kept on one pace final furlong, 5th of 11, 8l behind Polish (9-5) at Salisbury 1m 4f mdn stks (3) gf in Jun.
Fairlight (IRE) 3-1 (9-2) Tracked leader, slightly hampered over 7f out, hung right and lost 2nd over 1f out, weakened final furlong, 5th of 14, 7 1/4l behind Sleeping Lion (9-2) at Kempton 1m 3f stks (5) pol in Jun.
Kolo Tamam 8-1 (9-2) Dwelt, ran green in rear, hard driven over 2f out, never able to challenge, 7th of 9, 17 1/4l behind Cross Counter (9-2) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f stks (5) pol in Dec.
