Steadied start, held up in rear, ridden over 2f out, headway over 1f out, stayed on to press for 3rd inside final furlong, unable to get on terms op 12/1
Winning Story (6/4), Watersmeet (5/2), Calvinist (7/2), Pique Sous (9/2), Calling Out (6/1), Retrieve (16/1), Pearl Castle (50/1)
It's hard to oppose WATERSMEET who barely ever runs a bad race and has a fine 50% record on the AW including two wins from three starts here. Winning Story can give him most to think about but may need things to fall right for him while Calling Out should improve for the step up in trip provided he settles better. Any market support for Pique Sous should be respected.
