Tracked leaders, driven 2f out, outpaced when switched right over 1f out, ridden and stayed on to take narrow 3rd towards finish, no impression with winner tchd 33/1
Turjomaan (1/3), Shark (11/2), Double Honour (8/1), Hour Of The Dawn (20/1), Grab And Run (25/1), Gometra Ginty (33/1), Irish Charm (80/1)
Double Honour went mightily close to winning at Doncaster (1m) last month when finding only the Richard Hannon-trained Motakhayyel stronger, and he merits plenty of respect on AW debut for race sponsor John Dance. However, TURJOMAAN appeared every inch the real deal when following up his Ascot debut win (later disqualified) over C&D last October, and he ought to take the world of beating for last year's winning trainer Roger Varian.
