slowly away, always behind, tailed off
tracked leaders on inside, not clearest of runs over 1f out, no headway when in the clear final furlong
led but pressed, ridden over 1f out, headed and no extra final 100 yards
raced keenly tracking leaders, ridden over 1f out, weakened final furlong
dwelt, held up and behind, headway on inside over 1f out, squeezed through on rails inside final furlong, ran on to lead final 100 yards, good ride
pressed leader, every chance 2f out, 3rd and one pace inside final furlong
dwelt, raced keenly and soon chased leaders, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace and no impression inside final furlong
pulled hard, chased leaders on outside, ridden and hung left over 1f out, ran on towards finish
Unforgiving Minute won over a mile at Lingfield last month and beat the returning Horsted Keynes in a claimer last year. Qeyaadah has been threatening a return to winning ways with recent placed efforts while Qaffaal is not easily overlooked back down in class with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Poet's Society has a shout back on the all-weather today but FAST LANDING (NAP) has the most scope of these having placed at Newcastle in his reappearance and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge gets the vote handicapping for only the second time.
