Tracked sole rival, upsides 15th, mistake 4 out, ridden and 2 lengths down after next, never able to get back on terms, well held before last op 5/4 tchd 6/5
Slight preference in this match race is for DEISE ABA who ran well behind an impressive winner on his most recent outing. Trainer Philip Hobbs boasts an impressive 27% strike-rate (3/11) here in recent years and his charge can improve on that with a defeat of sole rival Jack Devine who ran well in a handicap here on his latest outing.
