Now given her head, she had forged clear of her field turning for home and, though she was being closed down by Wotchalike and Rawaabet from two out, she was never in real danger of being caught. She can win again from this sort of mark.
Wotchalike, a winner over 2m4f at Wincanton last time, having previously been second over this course and distance, when he perhaps hit the front too soon, was very patiently-ridden on this occasion and was unlucky to find himself faced by several fading rivals approaching the home turn.
Acknowledgement, having his first run since last spring, during which he has moved from Carl Llewellyn's yard, was restrained in rear, taking a keen hold early, before making steady headway from halfway. Switched from the outside to the inner early in the straight, he kept on in eye-catching fashion in the straight to suggest that this one-time David Elsworth Flat horse retains ability and is on the way back after his year off.
