        always prominent, switched right over 1f out, strong run inside final furlong, went 2nd close home, just failed

        In depth

        Verdict

        Smokey just got the better of Capla Spirit over track and trip with Hey Ho Let's Go further behind. The first two home are hard to separate but Wolverhampton runner-up Super Julius should have the measure of Big Time Maybe again. A GO GO (NAP) missed out on a hat-trick upped to 6f last time but an earlier double included a course and distance success and she gets another chance with winning partner Darragh Keenan back in the plate. Chitra will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long and looks best of the rest.
