Took keen hold, held up in touch, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, went 2nd inside final furlong, no impression on winner op 15/8 tchd 7/4
Leader's Legacy (2/1), The Grape Escape (9/4), Mandarin (4/1), Carigrad (9/2), Devil's Bridge (6/1), X Rated (10/1), Reachforthestars (16/1)
Some potential improvers in this in the shape of handicap debutantes Leader’s Legacy, Mandarin and Carigrad and it won’t be surprise to see any of those winning handicaps in the future. THE GRAPE ESCAPE looked a rather unfortunate loser at Sandown last time out in one of the hottest three-year-old handicaps of the year so far and he should be given the chance to make amends here in a competitive handicap.
