Led in start, held up in last pair, lost touch when ridden over 5f out, headway under pressure 3f out, stayed on to take 2nd inside final furlong, no chance with winner op 7/1
Take Em Out (6/4), Zamarkhan (2/1), Jaunty Flyer (11/4), Madame Fiona (10/1), Not A Role Model (14/1), Celtic Style (28/1), Shiroccodee (40/1)
Jaunty Flyer, Zamarhan and Take Em Out are three who should be capable of getting involved in the closing stages in what is another mediocre affair, but MADAM FIONA is suggested for win purposes. Martin Keighley's mare is well-related and the trainer does best of those involved in the contest when it comes to bumpers, so with slight concern over the need for a hood first-time, she gets the nod.
