Bad Beat made all, ridden along well over 1f out, stayed on strongly
Dispol Mulofky hung left throughout, chased leaders, ridden along 2f out, kept on to take 2nd inside final furlong
Count Almaviva awkward from stalls, soon tracking leaders, chased winner halfway, ridden well over 1f out, kept on same pace
Dancing Wave chased winner to halfway, soon ridden along and weakened
Handcuff in touch, ridden along after 1f, soon outpaced and behind
It remains to be seen what the form amounts to. Runner-up Dispol Mulofky was a cheap purchase and showed obvious signs of greenness, hanging left from the start, but he still proved good enough to take second from Count Almaviva.
Dancing Wave did not build on the modest promise of her debut fifth at Warwick and probably needs a stiffer test.
Handcuff - though he raced closest to the slower stands side rail - was still disappointing, never at any stage looking like getting into the argument.
