Chased leaders, not fluent 1st or 2nd, lost place next, closed 4th, led 7th, headed 9th, weakened before 4 out, pulled up before 2 out op 6/1 tchd 13/2
Plantagenet (11/8), Fifty Shades (5/1), Fawsley Spirit (5/1), Laugharne (6/1), Thomas Todd (7/1), Special Prep (10/1)
Another tricky race to solve, with several of these having feasible claims. Fifty Shades should be better for the return to good ground, while Thomas Todd may find more now back over 3m. Fawsley Spirit looks capable of better, while Laugharne is an interesting chase newcomer. However, PLANTAGENET made all last time and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty and follow up.
