Held up in rear, smooth headway before 2 out, went 2nd and poised to challenge between last 2, led after last, pushed clear turning in, in no danger after and soon eased, comfortably op 7/2
Not fluent 1st, held up towards rear on outside, headway 3 out, ridden after next, outpaced before last, stayed on to take modest 3rd flat, no chance with front pair
Winding Roe (15/8), Decor Irlandais (11/4), Late Again (11/4), The Steward (8/1), Urban Legend (9/1), Maison D'Or (33/1), Clondaw Fixer (80/1)
Urban Legend looks an interesting newcomer for Brian Ellison and should be noted in the market, along with successful pointer Decor Irlandais. However, we'll side with the greater rules experience of WINDING ROE, who ran well on his hurdles debut and should be suited by this step up in trip. The Steward is an obvious contender, but remains vulnerable, while a precautionary market check is also suggested for Maison D'Or.
