Raced centre, in touch when groups merged over 4f out, headway over 1f out, ridden to lead just inside final furlong, headed towards finish, lost 2nd final strides op 4/1
In The Red (5/2), Inner Circle (7/2), Danecase (9/2), Herringswell (9/2), Chloellie (13/2), Penarth Pier (8/1), Alabama Dreaming (20/1)
A tough race to call despite the small field and the suggestion is to stick with the in-form IN THE RED, although this will clearly get tougher after an 8lb rise. However, there are few obviously red hot alternatives, with Danecase a possible contender if ready on his stable debut, Herringswell another who could benefit from a recent run and Chloellie also on interest given a previous good run at the track.
