made all from sole rival, drew readily clear final 2f, in no danger after, very easily
chased sole rival, pushed along over 5f out, ridden over 3f out, lost touch 2f out, no match for easy winner
LORD NORTH was sent to Redcar for his debut in October and had few problems seeing off Fox Leicester, who won easily next time. John Gosden's charge looks destined for better things and should take care of these. Mostawaa has the advantage of a course and distance victory having won very easily in November but Ayr Poet makes a belated racecourse debut and has to concede weight for age. Neesaan is related to two winners at this trip and receives plenty of weight from the two winners.
