slowly into stride, always towards rear
slowly into stride, pushed along 5f out, always towards rear
slowly away, behind, headway on outside over 2f out, stayed on inside final furlong, went 3rd final 50 yards, nearest finish
mid-division, ridden in modest 5th over 3f out, never on terms
led, ridden and headed over 1f out, not much room and bumped well inside final furlong, rallied near finish, just held
slowly away, ran green in rear, ridden and struggling halfway, never a factor
chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, challenged 2f out, led over 1f out, hung left well inside final furlong, held on
Long Call never threatened over a mile here last time though he sets the standard with a mark of 73 and is preferred to stalemate and newcomer Parliamentarian. But SOLDIER IN ACTION is less exposed having run well at Musselburgh on his racecourse debut and Mark Johnston's colt gets the nod to come out best with normal progress. Play Gal is a likely improver and the newcomer Aumit Hill is related to four winners and worth a second glance in the betting.
Aumit Hill Authorized colt out of Eurolinka.
