Prominent, pressed leader after 3rd, led before next, ridden bypassing omitted 2 out, hard pressed last, edged left and held on towards finish (2nd last flight omitted) op 15/2 tchd 11/2 and tchd 8/1
Always Resolute (11/10), Ninepointsixthree (11/4), He's A Goer (9/2), Indian Opera (6/1), Horst (28/1), Los Cerritos (50/1)
Always Resolute comes here in good form and should again give a good account, while He's A Goer needs to bounce back for the fitting of cheekpieces. Indian Opera looks fairly treated on her handicap debut and is another possible in a trappy contest, but NINEPOINTSIXTHREE left a yawning gap between he and his field last month and is taken to defy a 10lb rise.
