Mid-division, 4th halfway, closer 4f out and travelled well over 2f out, headway between horses 1 1/2f out and pushed along to lead 150 yards out, soon asserted and stayed on well op 5/2

The King (11/8), Downdraft (11/4), Giuseppe Garibaldi (4/1), Altra Vita (6/1), Tritonix (12/1), Utah (25/1), Noble Expression (66/1)
DOWNDRAFT has a bit to find on official figures but won with a bit in hand last time and the suspicions is that there is more to come from the four-year-old. Altra Vita is an interesting challenger from a stable in red hot form who do well with their raids here and looks a big danger. The King takes a bit of a drop in class but was a shade disappointing last time and may have to settle for third best.
