Pushed along leaving stalls, in rear and took a few furlongs to pick up bridle, headway over 1f out, soon went 3rd, stayed on to close final 100 yards op 13/2 tchd 7/1
Tracked leaders, pushed along over 3f out, soon driven along and outpaced, no real impression after, well held 4th inside final furlong op 9/4 tchd 13/8
The drop back in class can see GROVEMAN return to winning ways with the step back up in distance also a positive. The selection is making his AW debut here and can get the better of the consistent Oasis Fantasy who can register another placed effort. Rapier receives weight from all of his rivals and he is taken to claim third.
