Held up, not clear run 2f out, switched right and headway over 1f out, soon ridden, went 2nd inside final furlong, not quicken close home op 3/1 tchd 10/3
Saroog (2/1), Charles Kingsley (11/4), Sleeping Lion (4/1), Theglasgowwarrior (13/2), Genetics (9/1), Bartholomeu Dias (12/1)
A few with questions to answer, and slightly disappointing turnout all things considered, but there is plenty to like about SAROOG, who beat a subsequent winner when maintaining his impressive record last time, and is certainly the one to beat however you look at things. Theglasgowwarrior is forgiven a rare poor run last time, and last year's close third looks the main danger, ahead of Charles Kingsley.
