Bring Me Sunshine held up, jumped left 9th, went 2nd 10th, led approaching 2 out, ridden clear approaching last, ran on well
Salinas held up, mistake 2nd, left 2nd 4th, ridden after 9th, outpaced approaching 3 out, took 2nd towards finish, no chance with winner
Alam led, ridden approaching 3 out, headed approaching 2 out, weakened approaching last
Wiscalitus chased leader until fell 4th, dead
Adopted Hero held up, mistake 2nd, some headway 8th, 6 lengths last when blundered and unseated rider 4 out
Quite what the form is worth has to be open to question and the winner is high enough in the weights now as well compared with his hurdles mark.
Alam set the pace and was there to be shot at. Although he is potentially well treated off his current rating he does not look the force he once was.
