taken to post early, chased leaders, slightly outpaced over 1f out, ridden and headway to lead inside final furlong, headed close home
towards rear, switched right and headway over 1f out, never nearer
mid-division, ridden halfway, short of room and switched right over 1f out, ran on to go 3rd near finish
disputed lead until led halfway, soon headed, weakened final furlong
in rear, ridden 3f out, never a factor
slowly into stride, soon switched left, in rear, headway 2f out, ridden to lead entering final furlong, headed and no extra inside final furlong
chased leaders, headway to lead 2f out, soon hung left, headed entering final furlong, edged right inside final furlong, rallied to lead again close home
tracked leading pair, ridden 2f out, kept on same pace
pushed along in rear, never on terms
Another of disappointing types face the starter in this with Imaginary Diva probably worth opposing again having found little off the bridle when favourite at Brighton last time, though she has won over track and trip off a higher mark. Whiskey Junction is back on familiar territory while Megaleka was only beaten half-a-length at Redcar last time but 3lb higher here. Fellow three-year-old Imperial Spirit also has a chance but LORD BUFFHEAD didn't run badly at Beverley last time so gets a tentative vote.
