slowly away in touch in 3rd place after 1f, headway to chase winner over 2f out, ridden and hung left over 1f out, no impression
made all, ridden and quickened 3 lengths clear 1f out, ran on, comfortable
tracked winner until ridden over 2f out, kept on one pace
There's little to separate these at the weights although Tebbit is facing the toughest task taking on a couple of recent winners on his first start since November. Misleading Promise proved well suited to the Fibresand when scoring over a mile at Southwell a fortnight ago but was well beaten in a couple of earlier attempts over middle-distances. IT'S ONLY BUSINESS is also unproven over the trip with his recent wins coming over shorter, including the extended mile at Wolverhampton last time. But a chance is taken he'll last home and Bill Turner's charge gets the nod.
