Tracked leader on outside, lost place over 1f out, soon ridden, stayed on under pressure inside final furlong, chased winner towards finish, always just held op 6/1 tchd 7/1
Count Otto (6/4), Helvetian (6/4), Global Academy (6/1), Poetic Imagination (6/1), Bungee Jump (13/2)
Today's weights appear to point very much in the direction of COUNT OTTO, who is 6lb better off with Helvetian for beating that rival here last time out. He has an obvious chance of following up. Helvetian has won since, but the handicapper has done him no favours, while Global Academy is in great heart but off his new mark will do well to score again at this longer trip. Poetic Imagination is not ruled out in an interesting event.
