Slowly into stride, mid-division, headway on inside over 2f out, chased winner over 1f out, hung left under pressure inside final furlong, ran on, never reached winner op 7/2
Crazy Tornado (5/2), Vizier (4/1), Zeshov (11/2), Marbooh (13/2), Bernie's Boy (7/1), Ellaal (15/2), Ralphy Boy (12/1), Dark Crystal (40/1)
A mile handicap that should be run at a good pace with at least two that generally like to go forward and that could well set the race up for ZESHOV who is a strong traveller and showed up very well on his reappearance at Pontefract. Vizier is very much the sort to improve for the O’Meara yard with respect given to both last year’s winner Ellaal and Crazy Tornado in a competitive race for the grade.
