Held up in last pair, headway 12th, close up on outside 4 out, challenged next, soon ridden and outpaced, no impression when lost place before next, weakened last op 8/1 tchd 9/2
Global Domination (7/4), Barton Rose (11/4), Cnoc Sion (3/1), St Merryn (5/1), River Purple (12/1), Bob's Call (40/1)
Hard to be overly enthusiastic about any of these highly exposed and in many cases declining runners. A chance is taken on CNOC SION coming back to form now with this handicap mark and trip/ground all in his favour to leave some modest efforts behind. Global Domination probably sets the standard as a recent winner ahead of Barton Rose who is pretty consistent on the whole.
