Held up in rear, 6th halfway, good headway to 3rd on inner under 2f out, progress to 2nd between horses 1f out, ridden to lead final 100 yards, kept on well tchd 16/1
Aydoun (11/8), Mountain Rock (13/8), Abraham (4/1), Grand Partner (7/1), Supreme Vinnie (14/1), Glendine River (20/1), Zambezi Tiger (200/1)
AYDOUN disappointed when seemingly well fancied for a Listed event last September and can register his second career success by taking this 2m1f event. The selection has raced exclusively over shorter to date but his breeding suggests he will be effective on the softer surface predicted here and he can get the better of Abraham who was beaten 2L in a handicap last time out with useful bumper horse Mountain Rock taken to finish third.
