mid-division, headway on outside under pressure over 1f out, stayed on well in closing stages, not reach leaders
chased leaders on inside, steadied off heels 5f out, ridden over 1f out, weakened well inside final furlong
keen in mid-division, headway on inside over 2f out, soon chasing leaders, closed all the way to the line, went 2nd post, just held
towards rear of mid-division, never really involved
led until halfway, dropped to 3rd 5f out, pushed along over 3f out, weakened soon after
Several of these have a handicap mark and Rising comes out best on these terms though ran poorly at Windsor last time. War At Sea failed to land the odds at Lingfield last month and Stanley was beaten a neck by a 100/1 shot over track and trip recently when SOGHAN finished fourth. But that was the latter’s first start of the year and with improvement expected from John Gosden’s charge, he gets the nod. Fearsome has a bit to find at the weights but may show further progress over this longer trip and is another to consider.
