2nd until the 1st, chased leaders, closed after 4th, ridden and hanging left after 6th, mistake 10th, went 2nd 3 out, well held by winner from next op 12/1
Blagapar (2/5), Free Range (11/2), Morning Herald (6/1), River Of Intrigue (14/1), General Picton (16/1)
Free Range makes his stable debut under a challenging weight, whilst River Of Intrigue has squandered attractive opportunities in the past. As a result BLAGAPAR appears to have a straightforward task following his efforts here last Friday when he made smooth headway only to make late errors when tiring over a longer trip. He goes up 5lb next time and so he needs to make the most of this opportunity.
