Not fluent 1st, tracked leader, driven to lead after 2 out (usual 4 out), forged clear bypassing omitted 2 out, ridden out final furlong, stayed on well, tired near finish tchd 10/11
Held up in rear, headway into 3rd 3 out (usual 5 out), tracked winner turning in, shaken up bypassing omitted 2 out, soon ridden and no impression, no chance after tchd 7/2
Definitly Red (1/1), Kauto Riko (4/1), Saint Xavier (9/2), Seeyouatmidnight (9/2), Dimple (25/1)
It might be worth taking on Definitly Red with the exciting French prospect SAINT XAVIER. The former isn't always that fluent over fences and with his rival sure to appreciate a return to chasing, Paul Nicholls' eight-year-old is take to get the better of the topweight. Seeyouatmidnight may be capable of finishing in the first three on his return.
