Pocket Too held up, headway approaching 3rd, led 3 out, clear when hung left flat, ridden and ran on well
Cottingham held up, steady headway when not fluent 3 out, ridden after 2 out, hit last, went 2nd flat, no chance with winner
Dune Raider held up in touch, every chance 3 out, ridden after 2 out, one pace
Marrel chased leader, led 4th to 3 out, ridden after 2 out, weakened flat
Vintage Gold held up, ridden approaching 3 out, soon struggling, tailed off
Ichi Beau made most to 4th, weakened 5th, tailed off
However, POCKET TWO won quite easily and may well have done so in any case off his light weight andrider's claim. He is clearly progressive for the time of year and has improved for the application of cheekpieces instead of the blinkers he had worn previously. His Newton Abbot win came on fast ground, so he handles all going as well.
Dune Raider would not have appreciated the conditions on his first run for ages and can leave this run behind when facing faster.
Marrel is not easy to place off a high mark and needs faster ground.
