Slowly into stride, held up in touch, driven to chase leaders over 2f out, went 2nd inside final 2f, soon ridden, kept on, no chance with winner op 11/1
Pablo Escobarr (4/9), Critical Data (11/2), Drogon (7/1), Kuwait Currency (7/1), Hot Team (16/1), Triple Distilled (20/1), Melissa (66/1)
PABLO ESCOBARR had Drogon behind when the pair started out in a similar event over track and trip last month, and while the latter looks open to significant improvement, Mark Johnston's well-bred colt is also likely to progress, and shades the verdict. Critical Data has a penalty to contend with, but won easily at Lingfield, and won't go down without a fight.
