Steadied start, held up last, headway in centre 2f out, ridden chasing leaders over 1f out, hung left inside final furlong, ran on under pressure to lead close home op 6/1 tchd 7/1
Enigmatic (11/4), Siglo Six (3/1), Pinnata (10/3), Mr Top Hat (7/2), Humble Gratitude (5/1), Balgair (8/1)
A chance is taken on Stuart Williams' runner PINNATA who made rapid headway in the winter on AW surfaces and his C&D second latest after four and a half months off suggested that he can take full advantage of his considerably lower turf mark now. Unexposed rival Siglo Six has to be respected with plenty of scope for further progress on handicap debut. Also not to be underestimated in an open contest is Chester winner Humble Gratitude under his 5lb penalty.
