tracked winner, joined 11th, ridden next, weakened 4 out
tracked leaders, pushed along and lost touch after 8th, soon tailed off
held up, behind from 8th, tailed off when pulled up before 12th
made all, mistake 11th, clear 4 out, ridden and mistake 2 out, eased flat
A weak novice chase to say the least but an opportunity for Broadbrook Lass, who has winning form between the flags, to atone for a near miss last week at Uttoxeter. She was narrowly beaten by a potentially useful recruit from the Jonjo O'Neill yard with the field a distance behind. Elvis was taking on the likes of Sleeping Night and Bounce Back in France but has been pointing since. The booking of Mick Fitzgerald looks a positive for forecast backers. Stylino is the potential fly in the ointment. He had form on the ground in France and having had a pipeopener on fast ground a couple of weeks ago, he should be spot on for that effort.
