Towards rear, 7th halfway, switched right over 2f out, headway 1 1/2f out, ridden to lead narrowly final 150 yards, kept on well, headed close home op 9/1 tchd 13/2
Prominent, progress to 2nd halfway, challenged leader over 1f out, every chance in 3rd 1f out, dropped to 4th final 100 yards, kept on same pace op 2/1 tchd 3/1
Dwelt, raced in rear, 8th halfway, under pressure 1 1/2f out, no impression, kept on one pace final furlong, never a factor op 66/1 tchd 40/1 and tchd 80/1
Friendly (5/2), Windsor Pass (10/3), Takeko (7/2), A Ma Chere (7/1), Palifico (7/1), Bubbles On Ice (9/1), Merry Maid (50/1), Equulei (200/1)
Takeko is the pick of the pair with racecourse experience but no shocks if this goes the way of a newcomer and FRIENDLY certainly makes plenty appeal on paper for Aidan O'Brien. She's a sister to some smart winners, including Gustav Klimt and Mars, and the Ballydoyle juveniles are tending to know their job first time up in this fractured season. Windsor Pass and A Ma Chere are viable alternatives from fine sources.
