took keen hold, made all, pushed clear inside final 2f, edged left inside final furlong, unchallenged
tracked winner 2f, soon ridden and beaten
raced in close 3rd, chased winner 3f out, no impression final 2f, stayed on same pace
There's just a bit of a question mark hanging over easy Lingfield winner QUITE A THING after she failed when long odds-on at Beverley last week, but she gets 3lb from Ballyea here and that may be enough to swing things her way. Following a promising debut over 7f, Richard Hannon's filly just held on over 6f at Newbury last month but drops again in distance today. Powerful Wind and Fanrouge have both won a race but are likely to struggle against the principals on these terms.
