Awkwardly away, held up in last pair, ridden to chase leaders over 2f out, not much room towards stands side rail entering final furlong, stayed to take narrow 3rd near finish op 11/1
Herculean (13/8), Caradoc (10/3), Rise Hall (7/2), Society Red (9/1), Great Order (10/1), Dark Red (14/1), Shargiah (20/1), Maifalki (28/1)
HERCULEAN looked s superstar on his debut, and it's perhaps not surprising that he's taken time to fulfil that early promise. He's on an attractive mark if able to put a disappointing return behind him. Caradoc and Rise Hall are others to view positively, and the can fight it out if the selection doesn't come up to scratch.
