Held up in last pair, pushed along over 2f out, headway chasing leaders over 1f out, went 2nd inside final furlong, kept on same pace, no chance with winner op 4/1
Good Effort (5/2), Alaadel (11/4), Colonel Frank (10/3), Count Otto (7/2), Ice Lord (5/1), Swiss Knight (7/1), Musharrif (8/1)
Not many to be positive about, although Count Otto was back to form at the weekend, and Good Effort is one who could be revitalised by a switch to sprinting and is respected on that basis. Preference is for ICE LORD, however, who ran a stormer behind Flavius Titus here in April, and that race has thrown up plenty of subsequent winners. He is sure to go well assuming he's fit after a break.
